Here's an update on the Sanitary Sewer Inspections and sewer flushing progress:
✅ CM Finch / Pickel Park area - complete
✅ Kin Park area - complete

Contracted crews will work in the 111 Avenue near Peace River Road and Centennial Park / Downtown areas (highlighted in orange) starting today and over the next couple of weeks.

Regular flushing prevents build up, blockages, and helps maintain our sewer system.

🔍 What to Expect:
⬛ Toilets, sinks, and appliances can still be used
⬛ Keep toilet lids closed & sink drains plugged when not in use
⬛ Possible brief odours (open windows & run water if needed)
⬛ Only high-pressure water is used (no chemicals)
