Lake Major Conservation Measures Lifted – Effective Immediately 
  
(Monday, December 9) Halifax Water is advising residential and commercial customers that the Lake Major voluntary conservation measures issued on November 14 and the mandatory restrictions issued on November 25 have been lifted effective immediately. This is for all customers serviced by the Lake Major Water Supply Plant, which serves the communities of Dartmouth, Burnside, Cole Harbour, Westphal, North Preston, and Eastern Passage (see map<halifaxwater.ca/lake-major-voluntary-water-conservation-measures>). 

Customer conservation efforts helped decrease overall water usage within the system between 5 per cent and 10 per cent. In addition to customer efforts, the region has experienced significant rainfall over the past few weeks, with the water level of Lake Major currently at approximately 18.95 metres. The reservoir is now within the normal water level, and all voluntary and mandatory restrictions have been removed.  
Effective immediately, Halifax Water will also be resuming hydrant flow testing and reopening bulk water fill stations at Lake Major.
 
Halifax Water would like to thank all the customers who have conserved their water. Your cooperation and patience over the past few weeks have been appreciated and have helped ensure continuity of service for all customers on the system.
