The City’s Residential Protective Plumbing program has had an upgrade. Through the updated program, eligible homeowners can apply for rebates to install new protective plumbing devices. These devices can prevent sewage or stormwater from entering homes when the sewer’s capacity is exceeded during an extreme weather event.
The updated program now offers larger rebate amounts and a simplified application process. Available rebates include:
- 100 per cent of the building permit fee for protective plumbing work
- $1,000 for interior backwater valves
- $2,500 for an exterior storm backwater valve
- $1,500 for a sump pump in an existing sump pit
- $3,000 for a sump pump in a new sump pit

But the parties are split on how to do this.
