Green Gables Water Reservoir Flushing, Waneta

The City of Trail Water Treatment Plant crews will be flushing hydrants, as well as chlorinating the Green Gables Reservoir water system, starting Monday, July 28, 2025 for a period of approximately three weeks.

If you experience discoloured water during the flushing process, run your taps for several minutes until the water clears.

During the chlorinating process, a slight chlorine smell may be detected for up to two weeks, which dissipates with regular water usage. Chlorinating is a necessary technique used to clean and disinfect the City’s reservoirs and water distribution systems. The chlorinated water is safe to drink and not a health hazard.

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