STORM-WATER COLLECTION UTILITY
Infrastructure:
The Village of Lumby as part of its general operations maintains a storm-water collection system. The system consists of direct connections from the new subdivisions to the storm-water collection systems installed and in the older part of the Village, the storm system consists of direct connections and overland flows.
The system does contain a major settlement chamber on Glencaird Street, and the many catch basins within the system also assist in the settlement of the first flush of water off the streets.
The Village will continue to upgrade the storm-system to meet the guidelines of best practices for storm-water management.
Operations:
During the course of the year as part of the normal operations of the storm-water collection system, the Public Works Department vacuums the catch basins and in some instances flushes the mains on an annual basis if required due to silt build-up.
The cost of the operation is part of the general public works operational budget.
