The Town of Bruderheim’s stormwater management system gathers rainfall and surface water runoff to help reduce flooding.
Winter conditions can change quickly - warm weather can result in a rapid melt and freeze / thaw cycles can create hazardous conditions around your home.
Take these important steps to protect your property from potential drainage / safety issues:
|
When warmer temperatures hit, we see an increase in concerns about frozen culverts and blocked ditches. Maintenance for these problem areas is prioritized as follows: 1) flooding to private homes/infrastructure, 2) flooding and potential damage to public infrastructure, and 3) water in ditch and/or on land without risk to infrastructure.
Odour alert:
Spring stormwater odours—stormwater moving through the storm drains may have a rotten egg odour due to vegetation breakdown from the stormwater ponds. Once spring thaw is over, the odours will disappear.
