Water transmission line inspection extended one week - Possibility of discolouration in water

Work related to the inspection of both water transmission lines from the Water Treatment Plant to the municipalities of Moncton, Dieppe, and Riverview has been extended to Friday, September 6, 2019. The extension is required to complete all necessary work. Residents may experience water discolouration intermittently during this period. We will be monitoring water quality extensively during and after the inspection. 

The discolouration of water is caused by a manganese build-up on large transmission lines which may be dislodged during the inspection. This discolouration is not associated with health effects. We recommend that if your water is discoloured, you refrain from doing laundry as it may stain clothes.

The municipalities of Moncton, Dieppe, and Riverview apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and appreciate the patience and cooperation of residents and customers.

For any question, please contact the Water Department of the City of Dieppe at 506.850.5104
