Boil water order (October 21, 2024)

Update - Repairs are now complete and the water supply has been restored. The boil water order is expected to be in effect for at least another 48 hours. We thank you for your patience and understand that work delays can be frustrating. Due to the complexity of the work and unforeseen circumstances during the repairs, it was unfortunately not possible to provide a timeline or estimate of the duration of the interruption. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Water and Sewer Department at 506.850.5104.

DIEPPE (NB) — The City of Dieppe wishes to advise residents that a water main break occurred on Dover Road and Amirault Street 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.

There is a boil order issued for all residents located from 2135 Amirault all the way up to city limits going towards Memramcook, as well as all residents of Dover, Bayview, Freda, Kristian, Marco, J.F. Bourgeois, Vézina, Raphaël, Carter, Joanne streets and 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.
