Boil water order continues for Waverley Road area

A boil water advisory continues for the Waverley Road area while testing and monitoring continue after a water main line broke.

Halifax Water issued the order Sunday after a water main line broke.

It includes Waverley Road, Spider Lake, Montague Road, Keystone Village, Port Wallace, Montebello, Craigwood Estates and Avenue du Portage.

But depending on what happened when the main burst, you will have different instructions.

If you noticed your water was affected after 1 p.m. Saturday and:

  • you lost all water, boil it before use
  • your water is discoloured, run the taps until it is clear and you will not need to boil it
  • had normal or low pressure, no need to boil
  • if you are unsure how your water service was affected, boil as a precaution

Halifax Water says to boil water for one minute before any human consumption, including brushing your teeth.

The city says a comfort centre is no longer needed, however showers, washrooms and access to drinking water are available at
