Trent Hills to tell residents flood proofing homes their responsibility
News - Trent Hills – Residents in lowlying areas won’t be able to count on the municipality to provide sandbags in future to protect their properties against ooding. The change in policy, too late to implement this spring, will take effect after Trent Hills has put together an educational program to inform property owners “how they can make improvements to their dwellings more resilient to ood events,â€? council

The third option, the status quo (“respond no matter what the event and hope the budget works outâ€?) will remain in effect until a new program is developed, but it’s a situation council members want to see end as soon as possible. The reason is money. In 2008 Trent Hills declared a state of emergency to deal with a major ood that put 500 homes at risk and forced the evacuation of two people; 45,500 sandbags
were ďŹ lled and 33,500 placed around 54 homes. The combined operation, which included more than 1,000 volunteers, cost a total of $173,000 (the municipality received a one-time grant of $57,439 to offset some of its cost). Since then, Trent Hills has had to deal with less severe ooding, where no state of emergency was declared. The costs were $38,000 in 2009, and $18,000 in Please see “Residentsâ€? on page 2

That was one of three options presented by deputy clerk/manager of protective services Shari Lang, and council made clear with its approval April 1 that the intent is to move the municipality toward the second alternative she presented, that Trent Hills provide “no assistance to property owners except for providing access for ďŹ rst responders.â€?
