Where does your sump pump drain?

We are asking all residents to help in protecting our community spaces by ensuring your sump pumps are compliant with the Utility Bylaw 833/2024. Discharging sump pump water into parks, green spaces, sidewalks, or storm sewers is not allowed.

Why it matters:
• Erodes and damages property
• Creates standing water and slippery hazards on sidewalks
• Overloads our storm system when water is drained illegally into sewers
• Increases maintenance costs for everyone
• Can pose safety risks for kids, pets, and other residents

If you have your sump pump routed underground away from your home or business, please redirect the line onto your own property, in accordance with Town bylaws.

If you need help figuring out if your sump pump discharge is compliant, contact the Operations Department at 403-886-3282 or submit an E-Service Request, we’re happy to assist you.

This warm dry spring has been ideal conditions for some friends to take up residence within the parks.

At this time, we can’t confirm it is Forest Tent Caterpillars who have moved in, but staff are working to address the caterpillar issue within our best practice guidelines to limit the defoliation of our green canopy.

We encourage residents to check out the information from The City of Red Deer about Forest Tent Caterpillars and how to manage them in your own yard.
