2025 Annual Water Main Flushing

Starting on Monday, May 12 until the end of July, the City of Trail Utilities Department will be flushing water mains in Sunningdale, Shaver’s Bench, Miral Heights, Glenmerry, Waneta, East Trail, Downtown, West Trail and Tadanac.

Watermain flushing is a necessary maintenance technique used to clean and disinfect the water distribution pipes and reservoirs, and to maintain proper water flow and quality.

During the flushing process, chlorinated water will be temporarily supplied to Shaver’s Bench, Miral Heights, Glenmerry and Waneta areas from the Water Treatment Plant and a slight chlorine smell may be detected for up to one month.  Discoloured water also be experience for short periods.  If you do experience discoloured water, run your cold tap (preferably outside tap) until the water comes out clear.  Chlorine smell and discoloured water are normal during this process and are not health hazards.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we complete this important process in your neighbourhood.
