Some Dieppe residents will need to boil their water until further notice, according to the city.
A water main break occurred on Dover Road and Amirault Street earlier in the day on Monday.
“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,” the city said in a news release.
A boil water order has been issued for all residents located from 2135 Amirault all the way up to city limits going toward Memramcook.
It also applies to all residents of Dover, Bayview, Freda, Kristian, Marco, J.F. Bourgeois, Vézina, Raphaël, Carter and Joanne streets, as well as Domaine Dover Estates.
All water destined for drinking, preparing infant formulas and juices, washing fruits and vegetables, cooking, brushing teeth and dental hygiene should be held at a rolling boil for at least one minute.
It is not necessary to boil water used for other household purposes such as bathing, showering, laundry or washing hands and dishes. You should avoid swallowing the water when bathing or showering.
The boil order will remain in effect for a few days, according to the city.
You can see a map of the affected area on the city’s website.
