WINDSOR JUNCTION: This is to confirm that effective 4:30 PM, Monday, July 6, 2020, the Precautionary Boil Water Advisory issued on Saturday, July 4, 2020, for customers in the communities of Fall River, Waverley, Windsor Junction, Capilano, Miller Lake, Frame, Silverside, Lakeview & a small section of Lower Sackville (from the intersection of Cobequid Road & Glendale toward Lakeview/Fall River) has been lifted.

The water will be safe for consumption and use after impacted customers complete the following steps:

  • Flush any cold water taps for ten minutes.
  • Most kitchen and other household water filters typically do not remove bacteria or viruses; please follow manufacturer’s instructions for maintenance on these units.
  • Fridges or other appliances that may store water should also be flushed for ten minutes.
  • Dispose of any ice that was made by an ice maker or ice cube tray during the precautionary boil water advisory.

In order to lift the Precautionary Boil Water Advisory, Halifax Water was required to sample on two consecutive days and receive test results indicating the absence of bacteria.

These results were received on Sunday, July 5, 2020, and Monday, July 6, 2020, and hence, by way of this notice the Precautionary Boil Water Advisory has been lifted.

We thank you for your cooperation and patience as we worked through this event.
