The city of Windsor Announces New City Engineer/Commissioner of Infrastructure Services

The City of Windsor is asking residents who experienced basement flooding from Friday’s rain to call 311 (alternate: 519-255-2489) if they require assistance getting damaged goods to the landfill. The request to call 311 includes those who may have already contacted 311, as this call will be to coordinate a pick-up. Please note: The pick-up will only be for residents who are not going through insurance, as insurance providers coordinate pick-up for their clients. To register for special collection residents must call 311 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. prior to 4 p.m. Thursday, July 22, 2021. The collection will take place between Tuesday and Saturday of this week. Last Friday’s rain resulted in over 300 calls to 311, prompting officials to offer free pick-up support. The City of Windsor is working hard to address the issue of basement flooding, both short and long term, and encourages residents to take advantage of subsidies through the basement flooding subsidy program. Residents should also be aware of information aimed at safeguarding your home against flooding that can be found on the City of Windsor’s Flooding page.
