COVID-19 Update: 
 
Vaughan City Council cancels the planned 2020 stormwater charge increase
 
Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua and Members of Council voted to defer the annual stormwater charge for 60 days and to cancel the planned 2020 stormwater charge increase. The annual stormwater charge will appear on utility bills in a phased approach from July 13, 2020 until mid-September. This marks the latest in a series of actions taken by the City to support the community in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Read more about the actions the City is taking to provide relief to citizens and businesses. 
 
     

The City of Vaughan’s approach to managing stormwater protects the environment, property, and water quality. The City is taking steps to lessen the impacts of climate change with a long-term plan to manage the potentially damaging effects of stormwater. The City’s stormwater system currently includes more than 1,000 kilometers of pipes, over 18,000 catch basins, nearly 140 stormwater management ponds, and over 150 kilometers of natural creek system. 

 

The stormwater charge has helped to fund more than 300 programs and initiatives across the City, including:

  • Annual cleaning and clearing of the City’s 18,000 catchbasins
  • Routine camera inspection of more than 1,000 kilometres of stormwater pipes
  • Annual inspection of the City’s nearly 140 stormwater management ponds and clean-out of critical ponds
  • Prevention of erosion and degradation of more than 150 kilometres of the City’s natural creek system
  • Proactive improvement and preventative repair of stormwater infrastructure
