Stormwater charge for Brampton property owners
There will be a new stormwater charge for all Brampton properties, starting later this year. It will be based on the amount of runoff from your property, and will be dedicated to maintaining and investing in the City of Brampton’s stormwater infrastructure. As Brampton continues to grow, and more frequent and intense storms occur due to the effects of climate change, the amount of stormwater runoff from roofs, parking lots and other hard surfaces is increasing. If left uncontrolled, the runoff can cause flooding, erosion, environmental damage and impact public safety. It can also carry harmful materials that pollute our waterways.
Visit the City of Brampton’s Information on this new charge to homeowners and commercial property owners can be found at brampton.ca/stormwater.
