Burlington Basement Flooding Prevention Subsidy

The Burlington Basement Flooding Prevention Subsidy offers significant financial assistance for homeowners looking to repair their sewer laterals. Understanding that the sewer lateral, the underground pipe responsible for transporting wastewater from your home to the municipal sanitary sewer system, is crucial for efficient waste management, the subsidy aims to support homeowners in maintaining this vital infrastructure.

Under this program, homeowners can receive financial support covering half of their repair costs, up to a maximum of $2,000. This subsidy is a proactive step towards ensuring that the sewer systems in individual homes are functioning properly, thereby reducing the risk of basement flooding and contributing to the overall health and safety of the community. By providing this subsidy, Burlington is actively helping its residents to maintain their homes and protect their property from potential water damage.
