If you’re in the area of Caledonia Road and Sheiling Lane in Dartmouth, water valve repairs might make you water run discoloured today.

Halifax water will be working in the area until 4 p.m; traffic control will be on site.

If your water does run discoloured, the water utility recommends letting the cold tap run until it’s clear again.

Motorists should expect delays in the area and use an alternate route.
