WINDSOR JUNCTION: Halifax Water crews continue work to repair the water main near the intersection of Cobequid Road and Glendale Drive.
Water service is expected to be restored on Monday, July 6, between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM.
Water is being redirected from other regions to provide some of the impacted areas with water service, but the supply will not be able to service all impacted customers. Because of the redirection of flow, customers in the red shaded region may experience discoloured water during and after the repair.
Discoloured water is not related to the precautionary boil water advisory, however, customers should let the water run clear before consuming it.

The precautionary boil water advisory is still in place for customers in the Blue shaded area in the communities of Fall River, Waverley, Windsor Junction, Capilano, Miller Lake, Frame, Silverside, Lakeview & Lower Sackville (Cobequid Road – Glendale Drive Outbound see attached map). These customers should boil tap water for one minute prior to use for consumption or cleaning.
In order to remove the boil advisory, we need two consecutive favourable sample results to present to Nova Scotia Environment (NSE) and the Medical Officer of Health. Given the time required to obtain test results, the earliest the boil advisory can be lifted is at some point on Monday, July 6. However, it may take longer. We will update the public when the precautionary boil water advisory has been lifted.

Experienced traffic control personnel will be on-site to help manage the flow of traffic. Lane drops will remain in place approaching and through the intersection to protect the crew members and the public. Motorists should expect delays and use alternate routes. Motorists are also reminded that speed fines double in work zones.
For the safety of work crews and residents, please maintain social/physical distancing requirements of at least 2 metres/6 feet.
We apologize for any inconvenience this continued necessary infrastructure work may cause.
