SEWER AND COASTAL FLOOD PROTECTION MASTER PLAN
Final Recommendation Summary Report
Implementation
To assist City administration in planning and scheduling recommended solutions projects have been a priority level based on various criteria. Immediate priority projects have been identified first. The remaining projects were ranked using a ranking system developed to score projects based on the below criteria. Projects were assigned a priority (High, Medium and Low) based on this system.
| Condition of Existing Sewers | Flood Reduction Effectiveness | Emergency Access | Criteria was based on feedback from City Administration and the SAC (Stakeholder Advisory Committee). |
| Cost Efficiency | Reduction ofCombined SewerOverflows (CSOs) | Access to Vulnerable Areas |
It is recommended that the City continuously review and re-evaluate the prioritization list, especially as it relates to future climate change projections, and how the list overlaps with other road/capital projects or maintenance programs.
It is important to note that public infrastructure improvements are only one part of the comprehensive solution to mitigate flooding and that the implementation of private property source control and protection measures are critical in achieving the established level of service. Continuous sewer system monitoring and modelling analysis will be required to confirm that the anticipated benefit is achieved.
As projects and source control measures are implemented, the risk of flooding will be reduced.
