Halifax Water Rates Finalized by NSRAB
Today, Nova Scotia Regulatory Appeals Board (NSRAB) finalized its decision regarding Halifax Water’s General Rate Application, which was filed in May 2025.
As a result, the estimated average residential bill for all three services is expected to increase by 12.1% in January 2026 and by 6% in April 2026. This will increase the average household bill by $9.28 per month starting in January 2026 and by an additional $5.11 per month starting in April of 2026.
Halifax Water’s request was driven by increased inflation, rising interest rates, depleted reserve funds, aging infrastructure, growth and increasing regulatory requirements. This will be the first increase in Halifax Water rates since April 2023.
