Stormwater
Our Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance and operation of the Town’s water and wastewater services.
It is a catch basin, installed for the purposes of collecting overland drainage from surrounding properties through swales. The catch basin, and the pipe connecting it to the sewer in the road are maintained by the Town typically through an easement, however the swale maintenance is the responsibility of the individual home owner.
During periods of heavy rainfall, the roadway drainage and storm sewer systems may not have sufficient capacity to drain the water as quickly as during normal rainfall. Please allow the system adequate time to clear. However, if you are aware of a blocked catch basin or culvert, please call the Public Works Department 705-435-3900 to request a cleanout.
No. Private drainage matters are private.
