Water

Extension of the water system - Phases 1 and 2

In July 2015, the municipality was awarded $ 7,499,666 from the federal and provincial governments through the New Building Canada Fund - New Brunswick (NBCF) - Small Communities Fund to begin Phase 1 of a multiple phase project to develop new water sources and extend the drinking water distribution system in Memramcook. The municipality undertook these construction projects from 2016 to 2018 and these are now complete. New users can now connect to the system.

In 2017, the municipality received $ 1,500,000 from the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund to complete Phase 2 of the water project. Construction began in 2017 and ended in 2018.

These two projects have helped develop a new well and added 264 new users to the public water system.

The drinking water service includes the former Village de Saint-Joseph with 450 users, the new sections built from 2016 to 2018, Phase 1 (2016 and 2017) with the addition of 184 users and Phase 2 (2017 and 2018) with the addition of 80 users for a total of 714 users in the municipality.

In 2005-2006, the Village de Memramcook invested 1.55 million dollars to build a new water treatment plant. 74,731 cubic meters of drinking water is treated annually.

Sanitary Sewer Backup
If you come across a sewer backup, you must first try to locate the blockage point. We recommend that you immediately contact your neighbors to see if they are experiencing the same problem. If they are, the problem probably stems from inside your street's water main, so on public property. Please contact the municipality at 506-758-4078 (during working hours) or at 506-758-0541 (at all other times) to report your problem.

However, if your neighbors are not experiencing the same problem, it is highly likely that the problem is taking place on your property. In this case, you must contact a certified plumber at your own expense.
