Sanitary Sewer Flushing Notice: Starting Monday, June 9
The City of Martensville will be conducting sanitary sewer flushing next week, with a focus on areas in the south side of the city. Flushing is expected to start on June 9 and will be conducted daily for approximately 2 weeks.
This is a regular maintenance activity that helps prevent blockages and must be conducted to ensure the sewer system is operating efficiently.
The work will not affect most homeowners or cause any disruption to service, although there is a possibility that small spills, noise, and odors may occur. We recommend keeping toilet lids closed and drain plugs in all sinks and bathtubs when not in use.
Vandalism and Graffiti Incidents
Public facilities and private properties in our City have recently been impacted by acts of graffiti and vandalism. Last month, RCMP made two arrests in connection with cases of vandalism, both made possible because of tips from the public.
We encourage our community members to stay vigilant and report all criminal activity to the RCMP. Even if arrests can’t be made, these tips help keep law enforcement informed on these issues and prepared for future activities. Please check and monitor your property (back fences, garages, alleys, etc.) for signs of vandalism/graffiti and contact the RCMP if you’ve been victimized.
RCMP Address: 515 Centennial Dr S
RCMP Phone: 306-975-1610 or 310-RCMP for non emergencies
Call 911 for emergencies
Residential Fire Related Regulations
The City of Martensville currently does not have a fire ban in place – But safety precautions should always be top of mind when it comes to fire. As residents enjoy outdoor activities in their backyard and patios, the Martensville Fire Department has provided some reminders regarding regulations for Residential Outdoor Fire Pits, Barbeques, and Fireworks, to ensure the safety of themselves and others in our community.
Regulations include:
– Fires must be contained within a non-combustible fire box constructed of material such as cement, brick or metal and covered with a heavy gauge screen
– The Martensville Fire Department recommends that fire pits be situated at least 3 meters (9.8 feet) from any combustible materials (ie. fences or buildings)
– Fuel for open-air fires should only consist of charcoal or cut, seasoned wood
– Outdoor fires must be supervised and should be extinguished when finished
– Outdoor fires shouldn’t be lit when the weather conditions are conducive to creative a running fire
– Keep a garden hose or water source accessible to extinguish nearby fire
– No permit is required for private fireworks display, but those fireworks must be set off in a manner that would not create danger or nuisance to neighbors
– No person under the age of 18 shall set off fireworks
– Ensure you have the civic address of your residence prominently displayed in the event of fire or emergency; this is to ensure responders can clearly identify your home
