City of Surrey 2020-2024 Financial Plan

DRAINAGE

INFRASTRUCTURE

• Successfully completed a Pilot project to investigate and evaluate innovative Acoustic Technology (“SL RAT”) for rapid sewer pipe inspection. This technology can be used to quickly assess pipe condition for all sewer mains and the pilot program results concluded that implementing this innovative technology could reduce maintenance cost up to 50%; • Construction of the East Clayton Pond and nature park to allow completion of development in the area and provide amenity space for area residents; and • Applied for and received Disaster Mitigation Funding from the Federal government in excess of $76 million in order to advance works for flood protection, and coastal resiliency to augment the City’s drainage capital project to build the necessary infrastructure for costal resilience.

EDUCATION & CULTURE

• Participated in ongoing environmental stewardship by overseeing and managing the P-15 Habitat replacement program for riparian enhancement; and • Continued research on salmonid spawner presence and young salmonids in watercourse with limited documentation to support Surrey’s Watercourse Classification mapping updates to ensure protection of salmonids in our water stream.

ECONOMIC PROSPERITY & LIVELIHOODS

• Improved drainage in agricultural areas through construction of new pump stations and low level pumps (Hook Brook, Hall’s Prairie and Panorama) to reduce the frequency of flooding of farm land; and •

Review Lowland Strategy in terms of completed works and those still required in order to prioritize future works in the Lowlands.

FUTURE INITIATIVES, GOALS & INITIATIVES

INCLUSION

• Advance First Nations engagement related to DMAF projects; and • Work with the Boundary Bay Living Dike Roundtable regarding foreshore enhancements.
