Storm Drainage Master Plan

Notice of Study Completion

On September 29th, 2016, the Town of Tecumseh experienced significant surface flooding due to an extreme rainfall event that overwhelmed the existing storm sewer system and pumping stations. In order to identify comprehensive, long-range solutions that would reduce the risks and impacts of surface flooding in the more vulnerable urban areas, the Town of Tecumseh completed a Storm Drainage Master Plan in accordance with Approach 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) (Municipal Engineers Association, 2015), which satisfies the requirements for the following Schedule B projects:
