Halifax is one of Canada's oldest cities, and with that comes aging water and sewer infrastructure that needs renewal.
Over the next 30 years, Halifax Water plans to invest about $2.6 billion to upgrade infrastructure to ensure the continued delivery of high quality water, wastewater and storm water services to benefit our customers and the environment. Below are some of the projects currently underway at Halifax Water:
Underground Overhaul
Northwest Arm sewer rehabilitation project
The Northwest Arm Trunk Sewer is over 100 years old and in deteriorating condition.
Repair of the Northwest Arm Trunk sewer is a big job and a significant investment in the community at approximately $21 million. The project has been approved for funding by the Federal and Provincial governments, in combination with Halifax Water, provided it can be completed by March 2018.
Customer Connect
The installation of new water meters throughout Halifax Municipality
Halifax Water’s new initiative, Customer Connect, will see the installation of new water meters throughout Halifax Municipality.
These new water meters will bring greater accuracy and reliability to meter reads and will eventually provide more timely water consumption data to Halifax Water customers.
Sullivan`s Pond storm sewer replacement project
Mock up of Sullivan's Pond pedestrian foot bridge
The Sullivan’s Pond/ Sawmill River storm sewer replacement project has been much anticipated in the community for a number of years.
With Phase 1 of this two phase project, residents will see two permanent sections of engineered open channel!
Fall River Water Main Extension Project, Phase 1
Water service will be extended to the community of Fall River through a project by the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund (CWWF) program. The CWWF Program is funded by Infrastructure Canada and the Province of Nova Scotia. A portion of the project will be funded through a Local Improvement Charge (LIC) administered by the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM).
