Dieppe provides its residents with drinking water that surpasses Health Canada’s Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines. Quality water and sewer services are offered at a very affordable annual rate.

Dieppe participates in the 3-Stream Program, which operates on a colour system for sorting waste: blue bags for recyclables, green bags for organic waste, and clear bags for garbage. Go to the Eco360 website for more information.

Green bags are collected weekly, while blue and clear bags are collected every second week, in alternation. As per Bylaw C-2, which deals with garbage collection, residents must ensure that their garbage is placed at the curb no earlier than 6 p.m. on the evening before the scheduled pick-up day, and no later than 4 a.m. on the scheduled pick-up day.

To find out the collection day in your neighbourhood, check the collection schedule.

The snow and ice removal plan is updated every fall. Priorities are set based on the importance of streets to Dieppe’s overall transportation network.

In an emergency, call 911 immediately.

The Dieppe Fire Department, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Ambulance New Brunswick all work to ensure public safety.

Emergencies are often unpredictable, and we all have a role to play in being ready for them. In the event of an emergency, you should be able to take care of yourself and your family for at least 72 hours.

The Fire Department is responsible for planning for potential emergencies in the city. A summary of the Municipal Emergency Response Plan (MERP) is available on the emergency measures page.

Dieppe is divided into five wards. City Council is comprised of a mayor, three councillors-at-large and five ward councillors. Regular Council meetings are held on the second and fourth Monday of every month (except during the summer and in December) in council chambers, located at 333 Acadie Avenue, and are streamed live on our website.

The City of Dieppe’s mission is to provide quality services to residents while ensuring responsible decision-making for the benefit of all. Property tax revenue pays for a large part of the many services that residents use on a daily basis. City Council holds deliberations on a draft budget in the fall, with the final version then being approved at its December meeting.
