Planning for the Future

City of Kimberley’s Official Community Plan (OCP) establishes objectives and policies to guide local decisions on land use, infrastructure, environment, community facilities, transportation, social and economic issues. Adopted in February 2018, the OCP sets a high-level policy framework to guide local government decisions toward the community’s desired vision for the future and to ensure that Kimberley continues as “a good place to be.” Find out more.

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.

Catch Basins

As the cold weather approaches, the city is asking for the public’s support by helping keep leaves and debris off the catch basins. Please report any blocked catch basins to the Operations Department at 250-427-9660 or [email protected].

Marysville Arena

The tentative opening date for the Marysville Arena is Monday, October 22. Please visit our website for booking information and schedules.

Streets and Traffic

The Bylaw Officer continues to enforce the Streets and Traffic Bylaw No. 1877, 2015 and reminds residents of the following:

• Campers and licensed cars, trucks, trailers, RVs, boat trailers, etc. are not to be left or stored on streets, lanes or boulevards which interfere or obstruct snow plowing and/or snow removal. Recreational vehicles now need to be moved off the streets and boulevards.
• Unattached utility and construction trailers are not permitted on city streets. They must be attached to a vehicle, or stored on private property.
• Unlicensed vehicles, trailers, boat trailers, etc., are not to be parked on streets, lanes or boulevards at any time.

All waste, refuse, building materials, rocks, wood, bricks, dirt, yard clippings etc. from private property are not to be placed on lanes, boulevards and other public property, as this may impede snow plowing and/or snow removal and cause damage to city equipment and injury to equipment operators.

Non-Compliance with the Streets and Traffic Bylaw may result in a fine, or the city removing or towing these items at the property owner’s expense. Your cooperation is appreciated.
