Water main flushing starting April 11
By Trail Champion
Starting on Monday, April 11, 2022 until the end of June, 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.
Water main 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 may also be experienced 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, and we apologize for any inconvenience. Please direct all questions to:
