Halifax Water crews continued to carry out water main repairs in Lower Sackville on Sunday, efforts that have shut down water access to some residents in the surrounding area.
Sunday’s efforts began at 7 a.m. and are meant to complete the work that was being carried out on Friday and Saturday near the intersection of Cobequid Road and Glendale Drive.
The temporary water shutdown will last until the repair work is complete, Halifax Water said.
Halifax Water issued a boil water advisory following a water main break on Friday when a 24-inch-diameter water line broke twice, resulting in the possible occurrence of low chlorine residual in the water.
