Boil water order - July 23, 2026

The City of Dieppe wishes to advise residents that a water main break occurred on Dover Road and crews are currently on site repairing the water main in question. In order to allow for the repair work, the water service will be shut off for the remainder of the day and changes to traffic patterns are to be expected.

Once the service is restored, there will be a boil water order in effect for all residents located from 401 Dover Road to 818 and 851 Dover Road, as well as all residents Bayview Street and of the Domaine Dover Estates. 

The zone affected by the boil order is shown in red on the following map.

Until the boil order is lifted by the Public Health Office, all users affected are asked to follow these instructions:

• All water destined for drinking, preparing infant formulas and juices, washing fruits and vegetables, cooking, brushing teeth and dental hygiene is held at a rolling boil for at least one minute, including water that is used for washing teeth, making ice, making coffee/tea or juice and washing fruits and vegetables. This is particularly important for those whose immune system is compromised (i.e. elderly, infants, people with transplanted organs, on dialysis, etc.). Please note that home water filtration devices (water softener, pitcher filters, etc.) cannot eliminate microorganisms that could make you sick.
• Water can be boiled in a pot, in a kettle on stove or in an electric kettle without an automatic shut-off.
• It is not necessary to boil water used for other household purposes such as bathing, showering, laundry or washing hands and dishes. When bathing or showering, avoid swallowing the water.

If you have any questions, please contact the Water and Sewer Department at 506.877.7990 or call 506.850.5104 for questions regarding the boil water advisory.

The boil order will remain in effect for a few days. A notice will be issued when the boil order is lifted.
