Recommended Solutions

Flooding solutions are made up of a combination of various levels of improvement. Each level represents a part of the City's drainage system, these include:

Key Assumptions:

  1. The effectiveness of solutions rely on a partnering approach between private property owners and the City. Integration of private property measures and public infrastructure upgrades are required to reduce the risk and impacts of flooding.
  2. Solutions will reduce, but not completely eliminate flooding risks.
  3. The infrastructure improvements are expected to require an extended period of time to implement due to the scope and costs. The City will incorporate these improvements into their asset management plan and implement projects in conjunction with other initiatives.
  4. The City will need to enhance their current operation and maintenance programs for a new and larger infrastructure.
  5. Recommended solutions do not eliminate the need for property owners to implement property protection measures and plumbing improvements.
