What is the Significance of Smart Water Properties?
Using Internet enabled devices (such as
the SafeSump™ pump and RainGrid™
cistern systems) can better quantify “lot
level” storm water impacts and identify
other mitigative needs (incl. Low Impact
Development (LID) and/or water harvesting
plus reuse practices).
Data insights will also help identify other
practices to alleviate stress on municipal
sewer infrastructure systems and during
severe (seasonal) climate events.

Smart Water Implications for Residential and ICI Properties
• Help reduce property owners’ basement
and property flood damage risks (due to
severe rainfall and snowmelt events);
• Potential cost savings for municipal
service providers and other asset
management areas;
• Reduction in GHG emissions; and,
• Potential insurance savings.

The project includes the design / construction of private property rain gardens
to determine site effectiveness in reducing stormwater runoff from severe rainfall events. Rain gardens were constructed in the Fall 2017 & Summer 2018.

The project also includes an assessment of other Low Impact Development
(LID) practices. This includes monitoring of three (3) constructed parking lots
with permeable surface & underground stormwater infiltration systems that
are NOT connected to the municipal storm sewer system. Stormwater runoff responses are being confirmed for all rainfall and snowmelt period events.

To summarize, what will we do with all of the monitoring data?

1) Incorporate the data with concurrent sanitary sewer flow
monitoring programs by the Town and our project team;
2) Data will be analyzed with continuous (predictive) modeling
tools to identify sustainable (and Smart) property owner flood
protection products and practices; and,
3) The findings will help the Town and Environment Network
(NGO) to seek other funding and expand the use of the
SafeSump™, RainGrid™, rain garden and permeable parking
lot systems on a larger (evidence-based) implementation basis.

Finally, the project will help understand how to better reduce stormwater
impacts (from above and below the ground) at the lot level (at-source) by:
1) Better understanding the impact of seasonal groundwater levels upon
drainage systems and with ‘big data’ information not available before;
2) Assessing inflow concerns for the WWTP and sanitary sewer system;
3) Determining if other building permit conditions are needed for basement
drainage works affecting new (nearby) home construction and help reduce
future basement flooding risks;
4) Preparing stormwater management plans for new (nearby) developments
and which have regard for ‘cumulative effects’ from seasonal high period
groundwater levels affecting current and ICI properties; and,
5) Providing the development industry with an evidence-based and ‘Smart
Water Technology’ direction for designing buildings and development plans
that are more resilient to stormwater runoff and snowmelt impacts.
