Major comeback: Lake Major filling, water restrictions reduced

Halifax Water release:

Due to the recent precipitation, Halifax Water’s source water supply has started to replenish and recover. As a result, Lake Major’s levels have increased by 70cm.  Effective immediately, all customers serviced by Lake Major will be returned to voluntary water restrictions.  

Halifax Water is cautiously optimistic that water levels are slowly recovering; however, staff continue to monitor water supply levels. The amount of precipitation that occurs over the winter months will ideally provide enough water to fully recharge lakes across the region. Until then, all customers and residents are urged to follow voluntary water conservation measures until further notice.  

Effective tomorrow, Thursday, November 13^th at 8:00 AM, Halifax Water will resume hydrant flow testing and reopen bulk water fill stations at Lake Major.  

Halifax Water would like to thank all the customers who followed the mandatory restrictions over the past two months. Your cooperation has been appreciated and has helped ensure continuity of service for all customers on the system.   

As a reminder, Pockwock Lake remains under voluntary conservation measures.
