Home owners are still encouraged to apply but should now expect some delays in service due to the sheer number of requests received. In total there were 2,740 calls to 311 concerning basement flooding and 1,700 tonnes of flood materials collected at the transfer depot. The free drop off and pick-up of flood materials has ended.
