Waneta’s water wellness

Waneta residents may notice a slight chlorine smell in their water over the next few weeks as the City of Trail begins chlorinating the Green Gables Reservoir from today, April 29.

The city says the smell could last up to two weeks and dissipate with regular water usage, however, the chlorinated water is perfectly safe to drink, posing no health hazard.

“Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we complete this important process in your neighbourhood.” said the City.

Chlorinating is a necessary maintenance technique used to clean and disinfect the reservoir and water distribution system.

The chlorinating process will repeat every three months as part of the city’s preventative maintenance program.
