Storm Drainage Master Plan

The Storm Drainage Master Plan (SDMP) is a technical study undertaken by a consultant on behalf of the City once every five years. The plan plays a critical role in helping City staff understand how stormwater infrastructure functions on a city-wide scale and provides guidance on prioritizing and determining the scope of storm related capital projects.

The plan looks at the following items:

• Updating the city-wide storm drainage model
• Identifying areas which have flooding or surface pooling above city standards/guidelines and determining how to best manage them
• Reviewing the storm drainage design and construction standards
• Ensuring customers are receiving the appropriate level of service by supporting and enhancing growth and development
• Reviewing the impacts of previous drainage infrastructure improvements
• Ensuring fiscal responsibility by creating action plans to ensure priority items are addressed in a logical sequence and creating a framework for funds to be allocated to future projects as needed
• Providing recommendations for effective stormwater management in future development areas

A map showing key drainage improvements completed since the previous Storm Drainage Master Plan is available here.
