Please note that Shediac Town Hall's hours of operation for the 2020 summer season are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Monday to Thursday (closed for lunch between noon and 1 p.m.), and 8 a.m. to noon on Fridays. The new schedule will be in effect from Monday, June 1 until Friday, September 4. 

Have a great summer!

In order to continue providing safe and reliable water, the Town is proceeding with a rehabilitation of the existing municipal water standpipe on Breaux Bridge Street. As a result of this work, the standpipe will need to be drained and temporarily isolated from the distribution system while the rehabilitation takes place.

As a result of removing the standpipe from the system, and until the standpipe rehabilitation is complete, you could experience a drop in the available water pressure and available water volume beginning Monday, May 25, 2020 at 9:00 a.m.

Until the standpipe rehabilitation is complete and the water standpipe is returned to use, residents are asked to minimize their water usage. Additional information and updates will be posted on the Town’s website and Facebook page as needed.

The Town has obtained the required approvals to proceed with the work. The duration of this construction period is expected to last up to eight (8) weeks. It is anticipated that the standpipe rehabilitation should be completed and returned to operation by late July 2020.

It should be noted that during this period the water system pressure will be maintained using the existing reservoir on Ohio Road in conjunction with pumping directly into the system. As a result, the fire protection system capacity will be at a reduced level. Therefore, certain additional precautions have been put in place with the fire department.

We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation in this matter while the Town continues to complete required maintenance to the water system that will ensure safe, clean drinking water for the residents of Shediac.

Please note that starting this coming Monday, May 25, Town offices will reopen to public access. However, only those who wish to pay their water bills in person will be allowed to enter the reception area for the time being. Until further notice, no in-person meetings with our administrative staff will be held at Town Hall; we encourage those who wish to speak with our directors to address any issue or schedule a meeting to do so by telephone by calling 532-7000.

Thank you for your understanding.
