Chocolate-y smiles were the theme of the Enderby Easter Celebration on Sunday, April 5, 2026.

More than 300 egg hunters divided and conquered two waves of Easter Egg Hunts at Riverside Park.

The business community was unbelievably generous with their financial support allowing the Easter Egg Hunts to be more robust than ever with more than 11,000 goodies spread across two ball diamonds.

New this year was a Teen Easter Trivia Challenge, where dozens of teens hustled to answer holiday-related questions for their chance to win prizes.

All of the activities were absolutely unbelievable again this year. And, all entirely free!

Thank you to Event Coordinator, Vallerie Byrne for curating this truly spectacular day.

This event would not be possible without the incredible volunteers who make it happen. They are there before the public arrives setting everything up and they are there after everyone departs cleaning up.

Thank you to each and every volunteer who made the Enderby Easter Celebration the success that it was (and apologies for anyone we miss):
Eileen, Caitlin, Tony, Ben, Todd, Anita, Amanda, Jacqueline, Natalie, Juel, Allison, David, Tundra, Roxanne, Sophie, Tate, Heather, AK, Ronnie, Wayne, JP, Joe and so many more!

The Easter Celebration was 100% free and that is thanks to the robust number of local businesses, organizations and individuals who supported this community event.

Every contribution matters, and we are so grateful:

Stage 1 of The City of Enderby's Water Conservation and Drought Response Framework restricts water use from May 1st to October 1st of every year. This helps to decrease over-watering, water waste, and the related impact upon public infrastructure.

Remember, just because it is your day to water, that does not mean that you must water your lawn. Check first and only water if it's needed.

Sprinkling is permitted for a maximum of 2 hours per day between the hours of 6:00am and 9:00am and 6:00pm and 9:00pm.

Properties with even numbered civic addresses may water on even numbered days. Properties with odd numbered civic addresses may water on odd numbered days.

Properties with automatic sprinkling systems may water between the hours of 12:00am and 6:00am on their assigned watering days.

Hand-watering on days other than your assigned watering day is permitted providing you use a hand-held container or hose with a shutoff device.

See the below graphic for a quick reference for watering permitted in Stage 1:

The full Water Conservation and Drought Response Framework can be viewed here.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Weather permitting, street sweeping in the City of Enderby will occur on Friday, April 3, 2026 with a pre-sweep of Highway 97A (George Street) on Saturday, March 28, 2026.

Help us to crush the dust and maximize your curb appeal with a few simple steps!

The City of Enderby is providing an update regarding the precautionary Water Quality Advisory that took effect on March 2, 2026. The Water Quality Advisory will be lifted on Thursday, March 12, 2026 at 6:00am.

Current Status

The Water Treatment Plant was returned to service and began serving water into the system on Sunday, March 8, 2026.  This followed reduced turbidity in the Water Treatment Plant’s clearwell, clear results on bacteriological sampling, and additional chlorine testing.  After verifying that the Water Treatment Plant met required safety standards and Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines, it was reactivated.

Lifting the Advisory

The Water Quality Advisory will be lifted on Thursday, March 12, 2026 at 6:00am. This timing allows for the water in the distribution system to fully turn over, ensuring that all consumers receive fully treated water.

Next Update

The City will issue a final notification on Thursday, March 12, 2026 in order to officially lift the Water Quality Advisory.

Precautionary Instructions

Until the advisory is officially lifted, users with weakened immune systems or those seeking additional protection should continue to:

• Boil water rapidly for at least 1 minute for drinking, brushing teeth, making ice, or food preparation.
• Use hand sanitizer after washing hands.
• Use an alternate safe source of water if preferred.
• Once the advisory is lifted, consumers who have been boiling their water may wish to run their cold water taps for 3 to 5 minutes. This will help fully clear water from household plumbing systems.

The City of Enderby thanks all residents for their patience during these emergency repairs and the subsequent safety testing process.

Please help by informing others. For further information, contact the City of Enderby at 250-838-7230 or info@cityofenderby.com.

The City of Enderby is extending the precautionary Water Quality Advisory issued on March 2, 2026. While emergency repairs to the Water Treatment Plant are complete, the advisory remains in place as the City works to transition the system back to normal operations safely.

Current Status

The Water Treatment Plant repairs were completed successfully and the clearwell has been disinfected and refilled. However, the refilling process caused an increase in turbidity (cloudiness) to the clearwell water.  As turbidity interferes with treatment processes, it must be reduced to assure that only safe drinking water enters the system. In addition to allowing time for the turbidity to settle, the City is taking manual actions to accelerate the process so that the water meets this standard as soon as possible.

Next Steps and Timeline

The City is following a strict safety protocol to return the system to full service:

• Settling and Testing: Once the turbidity reaches acceptable levels (expected within the next 1 to 3 days), bacteriological sampling will be conducted to verify that the water in the clearwell meets Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines.
• Returning to Normal Operations: Following verification that the clearwell water meets Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines, the Water Treatment Plant will be brought back online and start serving water into the system.
• System Turnover: After the Water Treatment Plant is back in service, the existing water in the system must fully turn over, before the Water Quality Advisory is lifted, which will take several days.

Lifting the Advisory

A firm date for the removal of the advisory will be issued once the plant is online and the water turnover rate is confirmed.  It is anticipated that the date for the removal of the advisory will be between March 11 and 13, 2026.

Next Update

A further update will be provided on Monday, March 9, 2026.

Precautionary Instructions

Until the advisory is officially lifted, users with weakened immune systems or those seeking additional protection should continue to:

• Boil water rapidly for at least 1 minute for drinking, brushing teeth, making ice, or food preparation.
• Use hand sanitizer after washing hands.
• Use an alternate safe source of water if preferred.

Please help by informing others.

Curbside collection of residential spring pruning and bagged organics will occur Sunday, April 26, 2026.

Unacceptable materials or materials that are not prepared properly will not be picked up.

All bags and pruning bundles should be left at curbside by the previous evening.

Instructions on Preparing Materials

Prunings

• No more than 4” diameter and 6’ long
• Must be bundled with string or compostable twine
• No roots or dirt – must be clean!
• Stacked separately from thorns and clear bags
• 50 pound maximum per bundle

Leaves, Grass, Garden Refuse

• Clear or translucent bags only
• No loose materials

If you have a large volume of prunings or a mixture of materials that do not fit with this program, you can drop it off year-round for free at one of RDNO’s Recycling and Disposal Facilities.

While tending to your spring pruning, it is also a good opportunity to take steps to FireSmart your property. For FireSmart tips and resources, please visit www.cityofenderby.com/firesmart.

Until notified otherwise, users with weakened immune systems or wishing additional protection should take the following precautions when drinking, washing fruit and vegetables, making beverages or ice, or when brushing teeth:

• Boil water rapidly for at least 1 minute or use an alternate safe source of water.
