Kimberley and Marysville Water Line Flushing

In order to ensure safe drinking water and maintain the Water Distribution System, the city annually flushes water lines in the community using city fire hydrants. The city will be flushing hydrants throughout the community beginning in Townsite (Lois Creek area) and moving systematically through the city from North to South. This program is expected to start the last week of September or the first week of October and continue for up to five weeks.

Residents may notice discolouration in the water during this process. Please note that this is not a public health concern. The city monitors the quality of the water during this process. Flushing and maintenance operations will be underway during the next several weeks. In the event that cloudy water is experienced, turn on an outside tap (preferred) or your bathtub faucet and run until the water clears up. For further information, please contact the Operations & Environment Services Department at 250-427-9660.

Bylaw Reminder

The Bylaw Enforcement Officer would like to remind residents that unattached trailers, utility trailers and all materials such as gravel piles or garden waste stored in alleys and on the streets must be moved in preparation for winter. All recreational trailers must be moved off streets and boulevards before October 15. Thank you for your cooperation.

Aggressive Deer in the Community

In the late fall, male deer enter into the breeding (or rutting) season. This causes them to be more dominant, agitated and aggressive. They can be observed rubbing shrubs or trees with their antlers, displaying dominance by strutting, circling around and tail flicking. Please remember that a doe with fawns can be just as dangerous. For your own safety, please do not approach deer and give them lots of space when walking your pets.

If you are concerned for your safety or have deer in your neighbourhood that are no longer scared of people or pets, please call the RAPP (Report All Poachers and Polluters) Line at 1-877-952-7277. This line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The city can only regulate issues in regards to people feeding deer. For more information on The City of Kimberley Deer Feeding Bylaw No. 2296, 2006 please visit HERE.
