Just returned from a short walk and experiencing our first snow melt around the new neighbourhood. At our house inspection last April the 2 sump pumps in the basement were running constantly due to a heavy rain outside. The ditches were full of fast flowing water and since we were so close to the lake I asked our agent to check into any flooding problems. We were told that there were no issues at our end of the small community but a little further south was designated a flood zone. Our new neighbours confirmed that there has been no flooding on our street in 30 years.
These photos were taken 2 streets south of us, perhaps a metre difference in elevation. Town of Innisfil crews were out blocking streets with cones and keeping culverts free of ice and debris. I now understand why almost no houses/cottages in this area have basements.
