Halifax Water says no swimming in harbour after wastewater pump fails Social Sharing

Halifax Water is advising people not to swim or to do anything that requires contacting the water in Halifax harbour until further notice. On Tuesday, the utility said the failure of an emergency pump is the cause of stormwater and wastewater flowing into the harbour. "We would strongly advise residents to not go swimming or participate in any recreational activities that require water contact ... just to be on the safe side," said Jeff Myrick, a spokesperson for Halifax Water.
