Overview
A two-page City of Brampton fact sheet, linked from the City's Site Alterations page as Residential Surface Drainage Information. It opens with the figure that nearly 1,000 litres of water flows off an average residential roof in a normal rainfall, defines positive drainage, and names common causes of surface drainage problems: poor lot grading or landscaping, a structure built within a swale, and badly placed downspouts or drainage pipes. It points to the lot grading maintenance fact sheet and describes the City's inspection service and its distance from neighbour disputes.
