Frozen Water Line Prevention
If the water service line to your home has ever frozen or you have noticed a reduced water flow in your home during the winter, leave one tap running cold water day and night (stream should be the size of a pencil). This will help to prevent your lines from freezing. Since frost sinks deeper into the ground when air temperatures rise after a period of extreme cold, you will need to keep the water running 24/7 until mid-April to avoid having the line freeze.
The city encourages residents who have experienced frozen water service lines in the past to be pro-active by ensuring indoor lines are properly insulated, keeping a good snow cover over the ground above the service lines and installing a bleeder line system. Click here for more information.
Angle Parking and Double Parking
The city would like to remind residents that angle parking and double parking is not permitted in the City of Kimberley, unless otherwise posted. Angle parking and double parking impedes snow plowing and narrows the traveled portion of the street, which obstructs the safe passage of emergency vehicles such as ambulances and firetrucks. Thank you for your cooperation.
Outdoor Skating in Townsite
Due to unseasonably warm temperatures this fall, city crews have been unable to begin work on the outdoor rink located in Townsite. As soon as temperatures allow, crews will have the rink up and running for winter skating!
