Please take the time to assist your neighbourhood or neighours by making sure storm drains and catch basins around your home are clear of leaves, snow and ice. Blocked drains and catch basins can quickly result in flood conditions.
To reduce the possibility of flooding, citizens are requested to do the following:
- Locate any drains or catch basins adjacent to your property;
- Make sure drains and catch basins are clear of any leaves, snow or ice; and
- Clear a path for water to flow into the drains and catchbasins.
Did you know? Many of the City’s catch basins are connected to drainage systems that discharge to environmentally sensitive fish-bearing streams. Please do not let pollutants flow down these drains. For more information, visit Water Pollutants.
