The City of Trail Water Treatment Plant crews will be flushing hydrants, as well as chlorinating the Green Gables Reservoir water system, starting Monday, July 28, 2025 for a period of approximately three weeks.
If you experience discoloured water during the flushing process, run your taps for several minutes until the water clears.
During the chlorinating process, a slight chlorine smell may be detected for up to two weeks, which dissipates with regular water usage. Chlorinating is a necessary technique used to clean and disinfect the City’s reservoirs and water distribution systems. The chlorinated water is safe to drink and not a health hazard.
“Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we complete this important maintenance in your neighbourhood.” said the City of Trail.
