For many years, the road by Walter’s home and property would flood in the rainy season as a result of inadequate drainage. Walter contacted the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) on numerous occasions over the years in hopes of fixing the issue but nothing was ever done. With the floods happening more frequently and not getting answers from MOTI, Walter contacted us for assistance.

We contacted MOTI and reviewed records related to Walter’s complaint and discovered that over the last 10 years, flooding on Walter’s road had increased in frequency. During the last flood, the culvert was overwhelmed and the road could not be passed by vehicles.

As a result of our investigation, MOTI accelerated plans for a drainage study to assess options to mitigate the flooding. Additionally, MOTI confirmed it would conduct a sediment excavation from the existing drainage system to prevent further flooding while the drainage study options were reviewed.
