The water chlorinating process will repeat every three months starting April 29 2025.

If you live near Trail and smell the faint odour of chlorine over the next few weeks, there is no pool nearby.

The City of Trail Water Treatment Plant crew will be chlorinating the Green Gables Reservoir on Tuesday, April 29.

Residents in the Waneta area are expected to be the most affected. The procedures aim to clean and disinfect the reservoirs and the water distribution system. The City of Trail said that the chlorinated water is still perfectly safe to drink and is not a health hazard.

The City of Trail said that a slight chlorine smell may be detected for approximately two weeks and will slowly deplete over time with regular water usage. This process will be reintroduced every three months.

“Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we complete this important process in your neighbourhood,” a post from the city read.
