Street Lights
Village Staff make every effort to check for burnt-out street lights and report them to NB Power.  However, if you notice any that are out or flickering, please contact the Village Office and advise of the exact pole location.

Civic Numbers
The Village Office Staff is responsible to assign civic numbers to new homes being erected in Village limits.  These numbers must be assigned using 911 standards.  Once assigned, 911 is advised; they in turn enter in their system and notify Canada Post who assigns a postal code.  This process can take weeks – so if you require a civic number, please call the Village Office as soon as possible.  We need to know the lot location, PID #, location of the house on the lot and location of the driveway.

Building Permits
Building permits are required for any construction and renovations and are issued by the Greater Moncton Planning District Commission (857-0511) www.gmpdc.ca.  Applications are available at the Greater Moncton Planning District Commission and the Village Office.

Hillsborough Sanitary Sewer System
Approximately 95% of the Village is serviced with a municipal sewer system.  The system includes one lagoon and three pump stations. In 2010 through to 2012 major upgrades will be made to the existing lagoon.

Hillsborough Water System
In 1989-1990 the Village installed the first municipal water system and are currently working on a second system. The system includes approximately 12 miles of pipe and 61 fire hydrants.  The water supply is generated from two wells located approximately 1 mile south of the Village.  Water is pumped out of the wells; chlorinated; then gravity fed to a 250,000 gallon storage tank placed at the highest point in the Village.  From the tank, it flows by gravity again, to service about 90% of the households in Hillsborough.  Regular tests are carried out to ensure the municipality continues to provide good and safe drinking water to the citizens of Hillsborough.

The Village of Hillsborough is very proud of the volunteers who completely make up the 30 member department. The Hillsborough Volunteer Fire Department is very well equipped with four fire trucks (two tankers & two pumpers) and one rescue and equipment van.  Other equipment includes: a system of portable & mobile radios and pagers used for alarms and fighting fires; generators, portable pumps, air breathing apparatus, and rescue equipment such as air bags and the jaws of life.  We are pleased to announce that various members of the department have completed Firefighter level 1 and 2 courses offered by the International Fire Service Training Association.

The Volunteer Firefighters spend a lot of time and effort in promoting fire safety in the community. Each year during Fire prevention Week in October, the Firefighters host an open house at the fire hall and lead a parade of fire trucks through the Village. Throughout the year they visit the school and library to talk about fire safety.  They also host tours of the fire hall.  The little ones love the opportunity to explore the fire trucks and have their picture taken wearing firefighting gear.
