One of the IRP outcomes was the presentation of the 14 IRP planning objectives. Some<br />

of these objectives are linked to current <strong>Halifax</strong> Water LOS. Table ES-8 presents a series<br />

of recommendations for updating/expanding the current LOS to allow a full evaluation<br />

of program implementation.<br />

5. Meet Future Drinking Water Compliance<br />

• See Objective 2 for LOS.<br />

6. Meet Future Overflow Compliance<br />

• Develop frequency and <strong>volume</strong> targets for long<br />
