Flooding and drainage meeting coming for Shrewsbury next month

Shrewsbury residents are being invited to a community meeting next month to discuss flooding and drainage in the area.

Municipal and engineering representatives will have a short presentation to introduce the Master Plan Servicing Study. Residents will then break into groups after the presentation to talk about the plan and describe flooding events or servicing concerns. Any concerns raised will be used to inform the team about existing drainage and to develop recommendations.

Chatham-Kent council passed a motion in the Spring of 2021 directing municipal staff to begin a Master Plan Servicing Study for Shrewsbury. The servicing study will include servicing strategies for drainage, stormwater, sanitary, and water to accommodate current conditions, as well as future growth. Erosion control measures for the protection of municipal infrastructure along the shorelines are also included in the study.

The meeting will take place on August 10, 2022 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Shrewsbury & Raglan Assembly Community Centre, 112 New Scotland Line.
