Markham Flooding Rebate

Private Plumbing Protection Rebate Program Assistance by Mele Plumbing - Protect Your Property Today!

Severe rain events can overwhelm the City’s wastewater and stormwater sewer systems, especially in older neighbourhoods where the systems weren’t designed up to today’s standards. To further protect properties from basement flooding, Markham has invested millions of dollars to improve City sewer systems. As part of this effort, City Council has endorsed the Private Plumbing Protection Rebate Program, offering financial support for property owners making improvements on their private plumbing systems.
