Why this programme exists
Wrenford sits along the Tamsin River and Corvid Creek. In 2005, heavy rain caused flooding along Riverside Flats. Since then, the City has invested in berms, flood-mitigation programmes, and stormwater upgrades. We also know that individual properties can play a big role in keeping water moving away from buildings. This funding programme helps you make those improvements yourself.
What is covered
The programme pays for upgrades that stop water from entering your home or business, or that keep rainwater from overwhelming local drains. Eligible projects include:
- Backwater valves on basement plumbing lines
- Sump pump discharge upgrades and battery backups
- Property grading and drainage swales that direct water away from the foundation
- Rain gardens and dry wells for roof runoff
- Downspout disconnection from weeping tile systems
- Permeable paving for driveways and walkways
Who can apply
Homeowners, landlords, and businesses located within the City of Wrenford can apply. Non-profit community groups can also apply if the project benefits the public. You must be the current property owner or have written permission from the owner to apply.
