What it pays
varies (no fixed amount published); the difference between the volume of water purchased and the volume of wastewater discharged becomes the basis for the wastewater rebate value
Deadline: Rolling intake
An annual rebate for industrial and commercial customers whose water never reaches the sewer, evaporated in cooling towers, or incorporated into product. The claim is built from twelve consecutive months of measured water-in and wastewater-out data.
Who qualifies
Customers purchasing more than 1,000 m³ of water annually from Halifax Water who can demonstrate, to Halifax Water's satisfaction, that the volume discharged to the wastewater system is less than the volume received.
The provider confirms eligibility.
Program status
The claim requires measured water-use and wastewater data. "The customer collects 12 consecutive months of data and submits it to Halifax Water for review and payment", and "An application for a wastewater rebate must be submitted to Halifax Water within six months after the end of the 12-month data period." "Requests for rebate must be made annually." Potential applications include breweries, food and beverage factories, and facilities with cooling towers. Status "rolling" is inferred from the recurring annual mechanism and a live submission form; the page carries no explicit intake statement. Pre-approval involves a site assessment of private water and wastewater systems, usually including a site visit. Submit via the online form plus supporting data to customercare@halifaxwater.ca.
