Stormwater Master Plan

The City of Owen Sound has initiated a Stormwater Management Master Plan (SWMMP) to develop a long-term plan for the safe and effective management of stormwater runoff.

This project aims to review the entire City’s drainage system (storm sewers, ditches, storm management ponds, overland spill routes, watercourses, etc.) and develop a long-term plan for the safe and effective management of stormwater runoff. The City is evaluating the stormwater management of public lands (road allowances and publicly owned property), not private property drainage issues.

This Stormwater Management Master Plan will steer future projects by identifying deficient areas, recommending improvements, and prioritizing projects so capital reserves can be set aside to complete the work. The SWMMP's findings and recommendations will be incorporated into future projects.
