Notes from City Hall
Pothole reporting
City of Kimberley crews fix potholes on a regular basis, fitting the work in between other duties. You can help by reporting potholes so we can add them to our list. Be sure to take note of the street address or crossroads nearest the pothole and report it to Operations & Environment Services by emailing [email protected] (link sends e-mail) or by calling 250-427-9660.
Reminder to renew your 2016 dog licenses
Please place the license on the dog’s collar and ensure the collar is on at all times, as this helps enable a speedy return of your beloved pet if it gets loose. The penalty for unlicensed dogs found running at large is $75 plus the licensing fee. The rules of dog ownership are outlined in the City’s Animal Control Bylaw. Please visit our website for more information.
Business Licenses are due for 2016
The city kindly requests that Business Licenses be renewed and paid as soon as possible. Application forms for new businesses are available at City Hall or online.
If you no longer require your Dog License or Business License, or need to update your contact information for these, please contact City Hall at 250-427-5311.
Clearing snow and ice
Icy sidewalks can be a hazard for everyone including seniors, children, mail carriers, meter readers, firefighters and paramedics. As the weather warms up and then freezes again, water from melting snow can run onto cleared sidewalks.
Here are a few tips to help maintain your walkways:
– Warm weather during the day can make ice soft, so it’s easier to chip or shovel away.
– Spread sand or gravel on icy patches to make your sidewalk safer for pedestrians. Spreading sand on a sidewalk before ice forms can also make future ice easier to remove.
– Microwaving sand in a microwave-safe container and spreading it while it is still warm will make the sand embed itself into the ice, creating a gritty top layer.
– Pile snow in a place where it will not run across your sidewalk when it melts and aim your downspouts away from areas where people walk.
