Traffic & Water Service Advisory – Coburg Road & Lilac Street – Water System Maintenance
(November 12, 2021) From 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM on Monday, November 15, Halifax Water crews will be working near the intersection of Coburg Road and Lilac Street, Halifax. Customers in the area may notice a change in water pressure and/or potentially discoloured water. Staff will flush water from a nearby fire hydrant to reduce the risk of discoloured water. Customers who experience discoloured water should run the COLD water at one faucet for about 10 minutes. You should see the water clear. Do not use the hot water faucet since this will draw discoloured water into your hot water heater/tank, which could make the problem worse. If the water fails to clear after 10 minutes, wait for a few hours and again try running only the cold water. To learn more about discoloured water and to report it, visit www.halifaxwater.ca/discoloured-water<www.halifaxwater.ca/discoloured-water>. There will be stop-and-go traffic in this area. Experienced traffic control personnel will be on-site to manage traffic flows. Sidewalks remain open. Motorists should expect delays and use alternate routes. Motorists are also reminded that speed fines double in work zones. We apologize for any inconvenience this necessary infrastructure improvement work may cause.
For the safety of work crews and residents, please observe social/physical distancing requirements (2 metres of separation).
