The schedule is as follows:
  • Sept. 6 and 7 - All areas of South Quesnel
  • Sept. 8 and 9 - Johnston and Carson Subdivisions
  • Sept. 9 and 12 - Two and Three-Mile Flat
  • Sept. 12 and 13 - West Quesnel - Uplands and west of Baker Creek

  • Sept. 15 - Downtown and North Quesnel - 5 a.m. start time
Note, this schedule is subject to change - check back often for updates or click here

Hydrant and water main flushing causes turbidity in the City's water system. Residents should expect, and be prepared for, discoloured water. If you experience this, leave a cold water tap running until the water returns to normal.
