Public Health Advisory

(September 5, 2010) Nova Scotia Environment and the Medical Officer of Health have requested Halifax Water to advise residents to refrain from swimming and other water-related activities until Wednesday, September 8th. Power outages related to Hurricane Earl have caused sewage overflows into several water courses in our region, as well as into Halifax Harbour. The Medical Officer of Health also wishes to remind residents that they should not use untreated surface water for drinking purposes.
