Drainage

A municipal drain is a drainage system used to improve the drainage on agricultural land and to remove excess water collected on other properties. The Drainage Act allows property owners to have such drainage systems constructed and maintained.

North Perth is responsible for the maintenance, repair and improvement of all municipal drain infrastructure in the municipality.

The Drainage Act sets out the procedures to be followed for maintenance, repair, and improvement of all current municipal drain under By-laws passed by Council or new drains constructed under the Act.

If a municipal drain is affecting your lands or requires maintenance, please contact Public Works.

Stormwater

Storm sewers collect rain and run-off from melting snow on your property to help prevent flooding and redirect this wastewater to nearby stormwater management ponds and waterways. To assist us in ensuring storm sewers do not get blocked, do not deposit debris or rake leaves onto the roadway.

A stormwater management pond is an engineered structure constructed to gather rainfall and surface water runoff. The ponds temporarily store water and then releases it at a controlled rate. A single pond can provide erosion and flooding control while enhancing water quality.

Through a combination of landscape and structural features, stormwater management ponds allow sediment and contaminants to settle out of runoff before it is released into a natural watercourse. Stormwater ponds also hold back water in order to release it at a controlled rate during large storms. Controlling the flow of stormwater protects downstream lands from erosion and flooding.

Stormwater ponds are also constructed to be an attractive feature with an environmental benefit. Ponds are designed to be surrounded by vegetation and to provide a habitat for birds and animals.
