The City of Dieppe has issued a boil water order after a water main break on Amirault Street.
This affects properties located between 1947 and 2685 Amirault, between 16 and 19 Leonide, between 301 and 818 Dover, for all properties located in the Domaine Dover Estates as well as all properties located on Freda, Marco, Kristian, J.F.Bourgeois, Vézina, Raphaël, Joanne, Carter and Bayview.
- 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
An advisory will be issued when the boil water order is lifted.
