Scarborough homeowners qualify for the same BFPSP. With many post-war homes built in the 1950s-1970s, Scarborough has significant inventory of properties that benefit from flood prevention upgrades.
Why Scarborough homes need this
Scarborough experienced major basement flooding during the 2013 and 2024 storm events. Areas near the Bluffs and along the Highland Creek watershed are particularly vulnerable. Older homes in Cliffside, Birch Cliff, and Wexford typically need both backwater valves and sump pumps.
