Prepare for heavy rainfall

Here are a few things you can do to prepare for more rainfall:

• Check sump pumps

• Clean eavestroughs and downspouts

• Clean and exercise your weeping tile flapper

• Ensure drainage swales (gently rounded ditches along property lines) are clear so water can flow freely
