Basement flooding
About this section:
Basement flooding can occur at any time. It can happen to anyone who has a basement, even if it has never flooded before. While most flooding occurs during big rains or rapid snow melts, it can happen even during dry weather. Review our resources to help protect your property.

Sewer overflows
About this section:
The Kingston waterfront is a clean, safe place to swim, fish or boat. But you should know about the added risk of pollution that can occur after heavy rain fall. This section provides information about sewer overflows and what we're doing to improve the problem, as well as our real-time sewer overflow map.

Know what to flush
About this section:
Wastewater treatment equipment is designed for toilet paper and human waste. Items like fats, oils, greases, feminine hygiene products, and wipes of any kind should never be flushed down the toilet or poured down a drain. Flushing these items causes equipment to fail, poses a health and safety risk to staff – and can even put your home at risk of sewage back-ups. Review our resources and learn what not to flush!
