Basement Flooding Mitigation Program

About this project

The Region assigns streets to Parts A, B and C of the Basement Flooding Mitigation Program, prioritizing based on infrastructure conditions and the overall risk of basement flooding. Part A is being constructed in 2023, with Parts B and C construction tentatively commencing in 2024 and 2025 respectively.

Halton Region is responsible for the section of wastewater service line that runs from the wastewater main at the street, up to and including the property line.

The property owner/homeowner is responsible for the section of wastewater service line that runs from the property line into the home. Homeowners are also responsible for all indoor plumbing.
