As part of our ongoing commitment to communicating with customers and the local community, Halifax Water would like to inform you that we are replacing the aging Mt. Edward Reservoir #1 (concrete) with a new steel reservoir. This work is part of the utility's 30-year, $4 billion investment commitment to improving aging water, wastewater and stormwater systems.
The Mt. Edward Reservoirs (#1-concrete and #2-steel) are located at 157 Mt. Edward Road in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The project generally involves the demolition of the exising water storage reservoir (#1-concrete) and the construction of a new steel water reservoir and associated infrastructure. The Work includes but is not necessarily limited to: design, supply and installation of a steel water storage reservoir complete with gravel bedding, concrete foundations, ladders, electrical systems, mixing system, all accessories; supply and installation of yard piping and valves; construction of flow meter chambers; modification of existing inlet piping; landscaping including topsoil and hydroseed.
Preparation work for this project will begin in April 2026, with the project expected to be completed in December 2027. Typical hours of work will be 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday to Friday.
The road and sidewalk will remain open for the duration of the project, with the exception of periodic deliveries which will require a lane drop with traffic control in place.
