Maintaining your stormwater facilities
The City of Brampton is committed to protecting you, your home and business, and the environment from stormwater impacts including flooding and water pollution.
As part of the larger effort to manage stormwater in Brampton, stormwater management facilities are routinely installed on both public and private properties. The City’s
programs, services and projects help maintain stormwater management facilities on City property.
What do property owners need to know?
Property owners are responsible for regularly inspecting and maintaining stormwater management facilities on their property so they continue to operate as intended, in accordance with the City’s Storm Sewer Use By-law.
If these requirements are not met, the City may carry out the necessary work and recover the associated costs from the property owner, including through the property tax roll.
Proper maintenance may also help reduce the stormwater charge for your property. Eligible property owners can apply for a reduction through the Stormwater Charge Credit Program.
Do you have a facility on your property?
Stormwater management facilities are routinely installed on private properties when the properties are originally developed, but the facilities are often out of sight. As a quick reference, you can check by searching for your property in the map below. Facilities are also shown in more detail on site servicing plans, which owners can request from the
City here.
