Sewer vs. Catch Basin

Do you know the difference between a sewer and a catch basin? Both play an important role in keeping water flowing in West Lincoln, but each has a unique function. It is important for all citizens to be aware of what should – and should not – go down the drain.

Learn more about the difference between sewers and catch basins and how you can help safeguard West Lincoln's infrastructure.

Save the Swales

Swales are one of the engineered solutions to drainage problems that occur as land is being developed from its natural state. Treat them well, and they will treat you and your neighbors well.

*It's in every homeowner's best interest to maintain swales for proper drainage. In the event that a property is affected, insurance companies may deny potential claims if a swale is found to have been modified or changed by a property owner.*

CLI ECA 

The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) has recently introduced a modernized approach to the Environmental Compliance Approval application process, now called the Consolidated Linear Infrastructure Environmental Compliance Approval (CLI ECA). This approach is intended to reduce the burden on municipalities, developers and the ministry, while imposing a consistent set of conditions intended to improve environmental protection.
