Halifax Water will be performing maintenance work at the Mill Cove wastewater treatment facility located at 205 Waterfront Drive, Bedford. This work is scheduled between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM on May 14, 2026.
During this short maintenance period, partially treated wastewater will be discharged from the treatment facility into the Bedford Basin. This maintenance work is important to the system’s operation and will avoid the possibility of an emergency process shutdown.
To reduce pressure on the wastewater system and minimize environmental impact during this temporary maintenance period, we are asking customers to reduce wastewater flows in the areas shown (see map). Please minimize use of running water, flushing toilets, or doing laundry during this time.

This work will not impact traffic.
We appreciate your assistance in this matter and apologize for any inconvenience this wastewater system maintenance work may cause.
To ensure the safety of our communities and our staff, please maintain a safe distance when Halifax Water staff or contractors are working in your area.
