Preparing Our Customers & Infrastructure for Extreme Weather

(January 9, 2024) Halifax Water will continue working closely with the city and the province throughout the extreme weather event forecasted for Wednesday, January 10.

Teams have been preparing for this weather, inspecting stormwater infrastructure to ensure it is operating at full capacity and mitigating areas of risk. This includes ensuring that equipment and supplies are readily available so crews can respond to storm-related issues.

To help customers and property owners prepare for extreme rain/weather events, Halifax Water has developed some helpful information at halifaxwater.ca/notice/preparing-extreme-weather-event

Severe weather can have a significant impact on property. We encourage property owners and residents to be prepared and do their utmost to protect their property during extreme rain events. In advance of severe storms, all customers are encouraged to set aside a 72-hour supply of drinking water for each person in the household.
