Winter weather is part of what makes Ottawa great, but as big snow falls start to arrive, here’s a reminder that snow is stormwater too. We often think of stormwater runoff as rainfall, when in fact snow is a big source of runoff when it melts, especially come spring!
Here are three tips for dealing with snowfall at home:
Want to be better prepared for snowmelt in the future? Consider installing permeable pavements on your driveways or walkways, and a soakaway pit in your yard. These two solutions help snowmelt and stormwater get absorbed into the ground where it falls, preventing erosion and environmentally damaging runoff.
Want to learn more about these and other solutions? Rain Ready Ottawa offers resources and rebates of up to $5,000 to help eligible residents manage stormwater at home. Find out more at ottawa.ca/rain or follow along on Instagram and Facebook.
Rebates and financing are available for home energy efficiency upgrades. Find out what you’re eligible for at betterhomesottawa.ca/rebates.
Rain Ready Ottawa offers residents in priority areas up to $5,000 in rebates to help install stormwater management projects. Find out more at ottawa.ca/rain.
The Residential Protective Plumbing Program provides financial assistance to qualified property owners for the installation of protective plumbing devices, such as sump pumps and storm and sanitary backwater valves. Find out more at ottawa.ca.
