The Town is creating a Stormwater Management Master Plan to develop a strategy to manage stormwater. Stormwater is the rain and melted snow that runs off streets and properties. It runs into creeks and streams, and eventually enters Lake Ontario. The Town owns a network of pipes and other infrastructure to help manage stormwater. This infrastructure helps to improve the runoff water quality and to reduce flooding.

Purpose

The purpose of the study is to:

  • Help understand the performance of the Town's stormwater network;
  • Identify areas that need more work to improve stormwater management;
  • Identify and rank projects over the short-term and long-term; and
  • Recommend updates to the Town's stormwater management policies and guidelines.

When complete, the plan will act as a decision-making guide for prioritizing projects, budgeting, and estimating and addressing future needs of our environment and growing community.
