They say that history repeats itself.  We hope this is the case for our customers with our expanded mandate to include wastewater and stormwater operations.  In this situation, a reflection on Halifax Water's storied history is warranted. In 1945, the Halifax Regional Water Commission was given a mandate to operate and maintain the water supply system in Halifax after it was ravaged by the demands of two World Wars and the neglect of the Great Depression.  Of particular note, the system had a serious wastage problem with 50% of the water never reaching customers (leaking pipes was the culprit). In 1996, the Commission expanded its mandate through municipal amalgamation which saw the water utility assets of the City of Dartmouth and Halifax County Municipality transferred to the Halifax Regional Water Commission.  Through adoption of international best practices, the utility again tackled water wastage and are now recognized as world leaders in water loss control. As a result of this and other milestones, the water supply system has been transformed into a modern, efficient, and financially sound structure providing high quality water and service to the residents of Halifax municipality.

On August 1, 2007, Halifax Water expanded its mandate once again as Halifax municipality transferred its wastewater and stormwater assets with the approval of the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board. With wastewater and stormwater governance established under the purview of the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board, the focus of Halifax Water will be to renew aging infrastructure, meet new Federal regulatory requirements, and position the utility for service and growth.  The utility is in an excellent position to deliver water, wastewater and stormwater services in an integrated, cost effective, and environmentally sound manner. We have a tremendous amount of work ahead of us, and staff are up to the task.  There is a significant infrastructure deficit associated with the wastewater and stormwater systems, and new Federal standards will require upgrades for protection of the environment. Upgrades to the wastewater and stormwater systems are necessary to ensure long term sustainability such that your grandchildren will enjoy the benefits of a modern society. 

Taking a long term view has always been a trademark of Halifax Water; and history has shown that this bodes well for the customers.  As stewards of these essential services, Halifax Water will continue the tradition of living up to customer expectations. We appreciate the goodwill of our customers through our changing mandates and look forward to continuing support as we strive to be a world class utility.table and chair rentals westchester Please feel free to contact our office through this website or other media, and we will be sure to respond in a timely and professional manner.oak table and chairs homebase Carl D.
