The City of Merritt Public Works Department will begin its routine fire hydrant maintenance throughout the city, from mid-April until the end of August, between the hours of 6:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday.
As we progress through each neighbourhood, some temporary water discoloration may occur during flushing. In the event of discoloration, run the cold water tap for a few minutes until the water is clear. There will be no further discoloration after we move out of your area.
This routine maintenance is required to check the function of all the City’s fire hydrants. It is also part of the process of flushing out the city’s watermains to optimize water quality.
We appreciate your cooperation and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
