A broken water main that saw Haligonians revel in a steady flow of water during the early hours of Saturday has now been fixed, according to Halifax Water.
The utility announced in a tweet that repairs were completed a little before 4 a.m., on Sunday.

Bailey Mackinnon, an employee at the Pizza Girls, told Global News on Sunday that the damaged water main slowed business down significantly.
“We were one of the few places that was actually open with the water still turned off but it was not very busy at all, mostly construction workers,” Mackinnon said.
