Source Water Protection Plans
East Hants has two Source Water Protection Plans. The plans aim to protect the source water supply in the area while considering the social and economic factors that are relevant.
This plan assesses and manages contamination risks to the source water supply of the East Hants Regional Water Utility. The utility provides drinking water to approximately 6,000 people in the communities of Enfield, Elmsdale and Lantz. There are also 2,500-3,000 residents in Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) and East Hants with private water supplies within the watershed.
The Shubenacadie Water Treatment Plant, commissioned in 2012, provides water to approximately 715 residents and the commercial core of Shubenacadie.
