Notes from City Hall
Water Usage
The City of Kimberley would like to remind residents to monitor their water usage. Mandatory watering restrictions are still in effect. Residents of properties with even-numbered addresses water only on even-numbered calendar days and residents of properties with odd-numbered addresses water only on odd-numbered calendar days. Conserve water and save infrastructure.
For more information on water conservation, lawn assessments, and irrigation efficiency, please contact the City’s Water Ambassador at 250-427-9660 or email [email protected] for a free audit.
Speed signs
The City of Kimberley is urging motorists to please obey all road speed signs, not only in your local area but all around the city. Please be extra cautious in playground zones and when you see pedestrians.
Be Bear Smart
There have been multiple bear sightings around the city and on the Rails to Trails. Please remember that bears are out in search of food. The biggest attractant for bears in our community is garbage. Properly secure your garbage, and keep it indoors until pick-up, or until you can take it to the transfer station. Everyone likes the smell of a barbeque, bears included! Please remember to properly clean your BBQ after using it.
Fire ban
The City of Kimberley is still under a fire ban until further notice. The fire ban will stay in effect until the Southeast Fire Centre ban has been lifted. The fire hazard rating for Kimberley is still high to extreme and residents are ask to be cautious when out in the forested areas. If you spot smoke or a forest fire within the community, call 911. If you see a forest fire outside of the municipality call the Southeast Fire Centre toll free at 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on your cell phone
