Final Recommendation Summary Report

Source Control:

Private Property Improvements

In order to meet the level of service and to mitigate the risks of flooding property owners will need to take an active role to mitigate their property’s strain on the municipal system.

Is it recommended that the City move forward with the following:

• Implement necessary By-Law to provide the framework for a City Wide policy.

• Coordinate with neighbouring municipalities to implement source control measures (Town of Tecumseh and Town of LaSalle).

• Complete Pilot Projects, whereby the City shall implement this bylaw in an isolated area, which will be monitored and assessed to confirm benefit of these measures.

• Implement a subsidy program.

• Develop a program to inspect and enforce compliance with the new by-law.

• Develop an Approved Contractor List for residents.
