These people are mostly concerned about getting by day to day. It is difficult for people living in poverty to devote energy and resources to anticipate and address risks into the future when they are living pay cheque to pay cheque. | |||

Costs for damage reduction are indicated for the 2017 high water levels. Indeed high water levels have been experienced again in 2019, but full costs for managing the 2019 damages are not fully known at time of reporting in June 2019. With equivalently high water levels, there has been less damage and disruption this year compared to 2017 due to the flood defence improvements made as a result of the 2017 flood. A significant factor is wave action which pushes water higher than the actual flat Lake Ontario level. With very high record lake levels again in 2019 is apparent that further protective action would be prudent. | |||

Also Toronto Hydro is implementing a new type of electrical service wire connection to buildings from the Toronto Hydro feeder lines. Break away connectors are now increasingly being fitted so that if something falls on a wire, the wire disconnects rather than breaking, or damaging the connection point at the electrical customer's building. | |||

As part of that program, the city’s requires storm drainage systems to accommodate a one-in-100 year storm.Toronto Water conducts flood risk studies in neighbourhoods that have experienced significant basement flooding. Once studies are done, then sewer system upgrades are implemented to bring the community to the point that it could withstand a 100 year extreme intensity storm event.For each basement flooding study area, an Environmental Assessment (EA) study is conducted. Examine the sewer system and above ground areas.Make recommendations to reduce the risk of flooding.Improvements may include building:Storm sewer tunnels.Underground and above ground storage facilities.Additional or larger storm or sanitary sewers.Inlet control devices (to slow the drain of rain into the sewer system).Additional catch basins (square grates on the side of the road) in low lying areas.Sealing sanitary manhole covers. | |||
