Halifax Water crews are on-site undertaking a water main repair near 44 Marvin Street, Dartmouth. Water service will be temporarily shut down in this area. No estimate of service restoration time.  
  
There will be stop-and-go traffic in the work zone. Experienced traffic control personnel will be on-site to manage traffic flows. 
  
Customers in the area may experience discoloured water during/following this repair. It is recommended that those customers run the COLD water at one faucet until the water runs clear. To learn more about discoloured water and to report it, please visit www.halifaxwater.ca/discoloured-water.  
  

Since the mandatory Stage 1 water restrictions were implemented for the Lake Major supply area on September 10, Halifax Water has seen a 5% decline in overall consumption.  

Halifax Water is encouraged by the public’s response and respectfully asks everyone to do their part to conserve water where they can. As these dry conditions persist and with little rain in the forecast, all residents and businesses supplied by the Lake Major Water Supply Plant must follow mandatory Stage 1 water conservation measures until further notice. 

This impacts water service for the communities of Dartmouth, Burnside, Cole Harbour, Westphal, North Preston and Eastern Passage (see attached map for affected service areas).
