Flooded Homes Left to Shoulder the Burden | Canada News
Description
Two floods in two years have turned Pierrefonds residents into reluctant flood fighters, forcing homeowners like Jeff Cooper to shell out $30,000 for underground basins and generators—only to lose their water insurance after filing claims. While clearing drains helps a little, experts say aging infrastructure can’t handle extreme rain, and one backyard solution won’t fix neighborhood-wide flooding. Newcomer Joseph Fung is now stressed by every downpour, demanding the city step up to investigate and act—not leave families to shoulder the cost. Officials remain silent, citing legal proceedings, leaving residents furious that tax dollars aren’t being used to solve the problem they’re forced to manage alone.
