City of Surrey's 2021 - 2025 Financial Plan

DRAINAGE

ECONOMIC PROSPERITY & LIVELIHOODS

• Improve drainage in agricultural areas through construction of new pump stations and low-level pumps (Colebrook); • Improve lowland flood resiliency by initiating the design of dyke upgrades to the Serpentine and Nicomekl dykes; and • Raise all lowland spillways to their final elevations to provide improved protection and productivity for the farming community.

BUILT ENVIRONMENT & NEIGHBOURHOODS

Advance the early planning recommendations from the approved Coastal Flood Control Strategy, including: • Collaborate with Planning department on changes to the current OCP, Hazard Area Development Permit and possible other bylaws to address the flood risk potential to residents; • Development of a costal monitoring system; and • Improve drainage service to the older areas of Surrey to reduce flooding.

Integrated Stormwater Management Plans describe a comprehensive, ecosystem-based approach to rainwater management.
