Town of Lee

Stormwater Vulnerability Assessment

Project Information

In line with our dedication to infrastructure enhancement and the protection of our community from flooding and environmental risks, the Town of Lee, in partnership with SEH Inc., is undertaking the first Stormwater Vulnerability Assessment.

This assessment represents a significant initiative to evaluate the performance of our stormwater systems during periods of heavy rainfall and to identify areas that may be susceptible to flooding.

We are committed to ensuring that this process remains inclusive and transparent. As such, the Town invites input from residents, organizations, businesses, and all community stakeholders interested in contributing to the development of the Vulnerability Assessment.

Three public meetings will be held for residents, scheduled thoughtfully to accommodate work commitments. Further details, including meeting dates and opportunities for engagement, will be made available on this page.

Residents interested in volunteering, please click the blue Volunteer button on the top right of this page for available opportunities. We value your participation and perspective. Your contributions are vital to ensuring our stormwater planning is responsive to the experiences and needs of the Lee community.

Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to enhancing the safety and resilience of our town.

We need your input!

We need your input to help identify flooding areas. On this map, please provide a pin at the flooding locations. In the comment section, please give a description of the area (closest address or intersection), describe the extent of the flooding (how often do you see this area flood, estimated area and depth of the flood water – if you can estimate it safely), and how long before the water substantially disappears.

You will also have an opportunity at the public meeting to do this if you prefer that option.

We encourage everyone to come to the public meetings.
