Floodwater Safety Tips

Our Public Works team is out in the community responding to reports of flooding as quickly as possible and removing debris from streets and sidewalks. Residents should still exercise caution when leaving their home. In addition to our existing stormwater infrastructure, which includes 48 permanent pump stations, Public Works has temporary pump stations deployed in low-lying areas.
