Do you know what happens to stormwater (rainwater and melting snow) when it leaves your property? With the increasing frequency and intensity of severe weather events combined with aging infrastructure, increased regulatory requirements and maintenance needs as well as growing communities, the County of Brant must manage the ongoing challenge of stormwater impacts and supporting infrastructure systems.
In response, the County is proposing the establishment of a new Stormwater Utility Program for areas of the County that have Stormwater Infrastructure. A significant initiative aimed at addressing the escalating costs associated with stormwater collection, treatment, and the operation, maintenance, and renewal of existing infrastructure.
The Stormwater Utility Program is proposed as a user pay program, similar to water, wastewater and hydro utilities, where the properties that benefit from the Stormwater Infrastructure will fund the program. This program represents a vital investment in the County of Brant's future. It will assist in ensuring we are equipped to effectively manage stormwater, protect our environment, and provide a safe, resilient community for residents now and into the future.
