[0:05] Soit. Pendant les élections, depuis le mois de avril, on a tout écouté. Les questions

[0:26] concernant le système de l'eau à Pointe-Claire, les inondations, qu'est ce qu'on

[0:31] peut faire? Il y a beaucoup de monde ici aujourd'hui qu'il y a eu des très belles maisons et

[0:35] d'autres qu'il n'y a pas eu des trous. Mais il veut savoir qu'est ce qui se passe. Les dés

[0:40] ce soir. C'est vraiment un travail. Je ne sais pas si c'est la bonne Française qui

[0:44] travaille en marche. Quand j'étais élue au mois de novembre, au premier jour, j'ai

[0:49] demandé C'est d'avoir un rapport d'où on a rendu avec les situations et les solutions

[0:55] pour les inondations. Puis l'équipe ici a fait une présentation, puis j'ai été

[1:00] vraiment, vraiment impressionnée avec tous les travaux qu'il a fait depuis le

[1:07] 13 juillet. L'année passée, le 9 août, l'année passée, il y a vraiment travaillé beaucoup sur

[1:13] nos systèmes d'égouts, puis le drainage et tout. Mais ce n'est pas quelque chose qu'on peut

[1:18] tout arranger pendant une semaine. Un été, c'est. Il y a beaucoup d'ouvrage, il y a

[1:23] beaucoup d'études à faire, et puis il y a beaucoup de travail à faire, puis il y a beaucoup

[1:28] d'argent à dépenser sur Internet. The idea was to just to give you guys relief that

[1:33] we're working really really hard on that they have found some solutions. They have done

[1:37] some great work. There is some temporary measures that are going to try to use and in the

[1:43] event that we have another storm short term. I'm gonna let them all tell you about it and

[1:48] I think we're with the best thing to do is if we hold all the questions off because I

[1:53] think we're gonna enter most of your questions and then at the end of it will take questions.

[1:57] But I just like to see the show. How many people are actually had flooding in their home in

[2:02] the last two floods. Perfect how many people have done stuff on their home already and

[2:06] migrate the water solutions and how many people do to work. WE don't know right. So the same

[2:13] thing with us. So we're coming up with all these solutions. We're doing all kinds of study.

[2:18] You're doing all kinds of trying different strategies and at the end of the day. We're

[2:24] going to do our we are going to put our best foot forward to try to get the make the best

[2:28] before it's gonna work. Where it does it like all of you. We're just I don't want this

[2:33] time to get that they're all trying to do their best to understand the new reality of

[2:37] climate change. So I'm not not I'm gonna posted on to our first of all. Let's just take

[2:42] all the council for being there. So we go. Eric Stork, Mister Ludovic Matthews, Kelly.

[2:47] Thurston. Caitlin. Cynthia Hoffman, Claudine Demers, Monsieur Potvin and Andrew

[2:52] Rezinsky. So we're all here every district has been affected. Tout le district est

[2:57] quelque chose beaucoup plus petit montant de l'eau, mais ils ont été tout, tout toucher

[3:03] une façon l'eau. So. C'est sûr qu'il y a du monde qui est beaucoup plus dommage que

[3:08] d'autres personnes, mais l'idée c'est est-ce que comment on peut régler la situation que.

[3:14] On a? On a peut-être. Mais encore c'est pas juste la ville, il faut qu'on travaille en

[3:19] équipe, on peut faire nos possible, mais les résidences, il faut y faire le possible

[3:25] aussi. Il faut qu'on travaille ensemble. Il n'y a pas une solution. C'est pas de sa faute.

[3:30] Une personne c'est ça va être vraiment un travail d'équipe. So là, je vais passer le micro,

[3:35] Mister Girouard puis bonsoir, Merci beaucoup. Bonsoir à tous. Bienvenue à cette session

[3:44] d'information concernant la gestion des eaux pluviales à la Ville de Pointe-Claire. Comme

[3:48] Monsieur le Maire a mentionné Gilles Girouard, directeur adjoint de la ville de

[3:51] Pointe-Claire. Evening everyone, welcome to this information session with respect to store

[3:56] water management at the city of Pointe-Claire before beginning. I'd like to mention that the

[4:00] presentation will be done by legally French and English basically en alternance. Going

[4:07] back and forth out the presentation and will be a question period at the very end

[4:13] and also I'd like to introduce some of my colleagues. This evening will be presenting as

[4:17] well. So we've got the director of engineering. Mr Benoit Fillion, Director of Public

[4:23] works, Mr Eric Jallat and the Director of S.P. Public Security and inspection

[4:30] Monsieur Marc Tanguay. So to write this presentation basically we'll be providing

[4:37] information with respect to mister maire and and what ongoing what the current and

[4:41] what is to come with respect to storm water management at the city of powergard. Also provide

[4:46] you a little bit of a recap of how our network function in the city of Pointe-Claire,

[4:52] especially with respect to are the heavy rainfall épisodes that we've seen over the past

[4:56] two years in twenty twenty four as well as twenty twenty five, We'll do a little bit of our

[5:01] recap as well with respect to our stormwater management plan and will provide you with some

[5:08] details with respect to our twenty twenty six Stormwater management project. So the

[5:16] overall objective of the presentation this evening is to provide information to you

[5:21] citizens of Pointe-Claire. The deploy communication in a more regular fashion with respect to

[5:27] storm water management. This will not be the last information session our

[5:31] conference with respect to this topic moving forward. WE want to also demystified how the

[5:37] network functions. Y mentioned earlier on get a enhancing our collective understanding of the

[5:44] network, especially with the recent rainfall events that we have received in twenty twenty

[5:48] twenty twenty five identify what can be done? Where can it be done throughout the

[5:54] territory and to gain ultimately territorial resilience through the steps

[5:58] that will be taken at the city of Pointe-Claire. Now all the way for presenter employee here

[6:07] today to provide you information on this topic. I can assure you that there is a

[6:11] top priority at the city of Pointe-Claire. It's one that is deployed through many services

[6:17] implicate a lot of employees. There are also citizens like you that I've lived through the

[6:22] consequences of the heavy rainfall effect of twenty twenty four and twenty twenty

[6:26] five and our dedicated to increase in our territorial resilience. So what's coming up?

[6:35] What's in development with respect to our initiative and essence there for development

[6:42] access at the city right now with respect to storm water management, we've been

[6:48] exchanging and collaborating with expert in the domain and you'll see that in the upcoming

[6:53] slide which basically spend some of that you'll see in twenty twenty six developing

[7:01] access number one is planning and knowledge building understanding how our network

[7:07] functions with this new reality with the heavy rainfall episodes of twenty twenty

[7:13] twenty twenty five and as such we initiated in April of twenty twenty four à Storm water

[7:19] management plan and all in my colleague Benoit provide you the details and the objective

[7:24] of this management plan through the presentation, but in a nutshell it Implicate network.

[7:32] Modélisation simulation with the climate variable that we're seeing from this heavy rainfall

[7:38] events to be able to identify the risk areas throughout the territory and essentially

[7:46] pinpoint. What are our most optimal interventions to be done on the territory of the

[7:52] city of Pointe-Claire? We've seen the consequences of in twenty twenty six and the

[8:00] promise of these studies have generated a major project in twenty twenty six once again

[8:05] and colleagues will go through in the following slide. Development number two

[8:13] prevention and intervention. This is important so in essence proactive weather monitoring,

[8:20] which is done by our team at public works by our team of public security as well as

[8:26] communication and deploying our employees from these services proactively throughout the

[8:33] territory to ensure that our network will function and also included continuous maintenance

[8:39] to ensure that our network is free of debris loss and certainly not least it

[8:46] implicate integrating within our major capital investment projects, some storm water

[8:53] management initiatives two of which were introduced in twenty twenty five. So when we and

[9:00] essence worked on the infrastructure project and winthrop avenue. WE introduced

[9:05] the bio soul small a little project, but in the end there is to return the water

[9:13] preventing it from flowing into our network, same thing with urgent park and retention area

[9:18] was created in twenty twenty five. So was the accumulation of this step and the

[9:23] integration of this project over time that will help increase our overall resilience.

[9:34] Intervention areas number three structures and support so the previous two intervention areas

[9:38] you saw were with respect mostly to the public domain this one pertaining to the

[9:43] private domain. So how do we support you citizens that we want to take some initiatives

[9:49] within your own personal dwellings our pieces in the line with respect to storm

[9:53] water management, so as such in twenty twenty six, you'll see the adoption of Ebola, allows

[10:00] us to present the financing program of city programs with respect to interventions that

[10:06] can be made on the private domain in addition to this. WE are also revisiting our

[10:12] construction bylaw and I'll go and details in the next slide with respect to this, but it's

[10:19] essentially. It's what it's okay. It's with respect to the orientations and principles

[10:26] that are put for by organizations like. Architecture sans frontières

[10:31] Québec that are geared towards making our building more resilience our environment more

[10:37] résilient to climate change and last but certainly not least is we've created in emergency

[10:46] measures webpages which will be launched as well in twenty twenty six and a guide that

[10:51] will have a section on heavy rainfall episodes identifying ways to be done before during

[10:57] and after those heavy rainfall events. And what are some of the risks that are involved

[11:03] there in. Developing areas number for communication and I can't stress the importance of

[11:12] this for us within the community. So the importance of communicating regularly with

[11:19] all of you with respect to our our own initiative and also what can be done through at the

[11:24] territory of the private domain. That's why we have planned future conference on the matter

[11:29] in twenty twenty six. You see those deployed throughout the year as well as the website

[11:35] webpage that is that will be dedicated to storm water management. WE also encourage

[11:42] citizens to be inside them to essentially register to our automatic alerte systems as

[11:48] well to be alerted when we feel that it could be a heavy rainfall épisodes. So these are

[11:54] all steps to be deployed and taken as well in twenty twenty six now and mentioned at the

[12:01] beginning that we have collaborated with many entities, some of them that are here and

[12:09] we have also been able to get some feedback from perhaps some of you that our president today

[12:15] with respect to your experience what you've lived through the past two years and it has gone

[12:21] in vain. It has had an impact on the conceptualisation of one of our major projects and we

[12:28] will get into that in the next slide as well. So this is just a little bit of a snapshot.

[12:36] It's not the intensity of the webpage, but you'll have shown that will explain. What's done

[12:42] in the preventative manner in terms of maintenance. This will be communicated once again in

[12:47] twenty twenty six launched by our communication team what the needs and out of our storm

[12:53] water management plan is as well as the project that will be undertaken through the

[13:00] territory and our past project as well and how to stay informed with respect to this

[13:05] topic. Now, this is a bit of a recap. So here you have some of the entities that we've been

[13:14] collaborating with it so Architecture sans frontières Québec has created a reference

[13:20] guide I strongly encourages it to go seek out on their website. It's a reference guide that

[13:26] essentially promotes adaptation measures that can be done on the private domain. We'll have

[13:31] a conference on this in twenty twenty six for citizens of Pointe-Claire, but this content

[13:36] will influence the revision of our bylaws in order to make our bylaws mort adaptable to the

[13:42] orientation and principles there in in addition to this, we have been collaborating with

[13:48] the city of Montreal, which has spawned basically the subsidies program that you'll be launched

[13:52] as well in twenty twenty six and with respect to private domain intervention powerful

[13:59] roxboro roxborough with essentially exchanges with them based on the experience and

[14:04] fortunate experience that the episodes the flooding episodes that they have loved over the

[14:09] past decade and see whether or not there is some equipment that can be adapted for heavy

[14:15] rainfall episodes. This is this analysis is still ongoing. L'École de technologie

[14:21] supérieure du Québec. Monsieur, We'll get into that details, but there basically the

[14:28] individual that are working on our storm water management plan and the types of interventions

[14:32] that could be done on the public domain in a short medium and long term and it's more

[14:38] optimal to intervene and last but certainly not least we've got écohabitation. Québec La

[14:45] Société québécoise de Phytotechnologie JFC. This is in supplement of the subsidy

[14:53] programs. We're looking at perhaps having a turnkey solution for individual that we

[14:58] want to introduce the ring gardens within our land. So they come in the evaluate

[15:03] basically you're your contact and see whether it's a feasible solution to redirect water away

[15:10] from the from the network. Once again. It would be a turnkey solution, so we're working now

[15:15] and that and introduce that with the city programs saying concepts with écohabitation

[15:20] Quebec, our JFC, they come in and basically evaluate your dwelling to see what type of

[15:26] measures in your particular context, cause every context, it is different. So what is the

[15:32] best measure for you to protect your house against these unfortunate events. So what

[15:37] once again? These details will be deployed in twenty twenty six. So on that not all

[15:46] patients on the presentation to my colleague that are going a little bit more into the

[15:50] prevention. Intervention section. Merci, Gilles. Thank you and I'm Eric Rolland, I'm

[16:00] the director of public works and building for the city gives you. Je vais passer à travers

[16:06] les les types de contaminants dans le réseau, puis les types d'entretien qu'on fait pour

[16:11] gérer ces contaminants là. Donc, première chose qui est bien important de comprendre, c'est

[16:15] que la ville de Pointe-Claire, on bénéficie d'un réseau séparatif, ce qui veut dire

[16:20] qu'on a un réseau sanitaire et on a un réseau pluvial pour chacun de ces réseaux. Il y a

[16:27] des points d'entrée, il y a des contaminants et on a naturellement, pour chacun de

[16:32] ces de ces réseaux là, un type d'entretien qu'on fait en conséquence. Pour ce qui est du

[16:37] réseau sanitaire, le réseau sanitaire, les points d'entrée sont des connexions directes

[16:42] aux résidences, aux commerces et aux industries. Donc c'est ces conduites qui sont

[16:47] branchées directement de vos maisons, qui vont directement dans le réseau. Les types de

[16:54] contaminants, c'est des déchets domestiques, commerciaux et industriels. Donc souvent, il y

[16:57] a beaucoup de sédiments, il peut y avoir de la graisse. C'est des choses qui vont

[17:01] coller à la conduite, qui ont tendance à rester dans la conduite et, par conséquent,

[17:05] peuvent s'accumuler avec le temps. Donc, par conséquence, il y a un nettoyage cyclique

[17:10] qui se fait de ces conduites là. On fait à peu près une section, on fait une section de la ville

[17:16] par année et au fil des ans, on finit par faire le tour de la ville. C'est une un nettoyage à

[17:23] haute pression qui nous permet de nettoyer l'entièreté du réseau du réseau sanitaire.

[17:30] Pour le réseau pluvial, c'est un petit peu différent. Si on regarde les points d'entrée,

[17:34] pour ce qui est du réseau pluvial, on a son pump vos vos pompe submersible qui

[17:38] proviennent de vos maisons qui est majoritairement de l'eau propre. On a les puisards de

[17:43] rue et on a aussi des fossés. En termes de contaminants. Pour ce qui est des 100 pompes,

[17:51] c'est de l'eau propre. Il n'y a rien là. La rue, par contre, peut avoir des feuilles, des

[17:56] branches, des débris de la chaussée, des chaussées aussi. Un petit bémol au niveau de la

[18:01] chaussée à Pointe-Claire, on est chanceux d'une certaine manière, on bénéficie, On a une

[18:06] politique l'hiver, une politique de non utilisation d'abrasif. Donc normalement,

[18:10] dans la majorité des villes, il y a de l'abrasif qui est utilisé durant l'hiver pour

[18:14] aider avec la glace. Donc soit de la petite pierre ou du ou du sable, étant donné que nous on

[18:21] n'utilise pas, elle ne s'accumule pas dans les rues. Donc on a moins de débris dans

[18:25] le réseau qui est un bénéfice. Il y a des pour et contre cette politique là, mais c'est un des

[18:30] un des pôles de cette politique là. Et et aussi naturellement, avec les fossés, il y a

[18:36] beaucoup de branches et de feuilles qui peuvent se ramasser dans les. Dans les

[18:41] conduites par par les fossés, surtout ceux qui vont passer dans les secteurs naturels

[18:46] comme le fossé qui passe dans dans le parc terracotta. Donc, pour gérer ces. Ces

[18:54] contaminants là, c'est plutôt du travail préventif qu'on va venir faire. On va faire pour.

[18:59] Pour régler tout ce qu'il y a dans la chaussée. On va commencer par faire du balayage

[19:03] de rue. Donc, nos balais de rue passent toute la saison estivale pour nettoyer les

[19:07] débris de la rue et aussi pour nettoyer les grilles de plusieurs en même temps qui

[19:11] sont le long de la chaussée. Et on va aussi faire du nettoyage cyclique des puisard, parce que

[19:19] les puisards, de manière qu'ils sont conçus, ils ont un réservoir dans le fond, il y a

[19:23] une partie du fossé qui est plus bas. Donc tout ce qui ne flotte pas se ramasse dans le

[19:28] fond du puisard. Donc systématiquement selon un cycle. Encore une fois, il y a une

[19:32] portion d'épuisement de la ville qui sont nettoyés à chaque année. Puis on finit par

[19:36] faire le tour, le tour de tous les plaisirs de la ville. Donc ils sont tout nettoyés pour que

[19:40] tous ces débris soient enlevés de ces petits réservoirs qui existent dans chacun des

[19:45] puisards. Pour ce qui est des fossés, c'est là que c'est un petit peu plus difficile, c'est

[19:50] là qu'on a un point d'entrée qui est qui, où il y a des débris qui peuvent rentrer plus

[19:55] facilement directement dans dans le dans le système de la ville. Et donc, à ces endroits

[19:59] là, après les tempêtes, c'est là qu'on va venir faire une inspection et un nettoyage de

[20:05] la conduite. Mais dans la mesure du possible, on va aussi nettoyer le fossé en amont pour

[20:09] essayer d'enlever ce qu'on peut des branches puis tout ça. Sauf que durant une tempête,

[20:13] naturellement, il y a souvent beaucoup de feuilles et de branches qui vont tomber

[20:17] directement dans le fossé et transportées par l'eau jusque dans la conduite. Mais on fait

[20:21] du nettoyage après, en temps et lieu. Dans tous les cas, que ce soit le réseau sanitaire ou le

[20:28] réseau pluvial, si on détecte ou on suspecte qu'il y a un blocage à quelque part, on va

[20:32] venir faire une inspection et on va faire un nettoyage. Justement, un bel exemple de de

[20:37] ça, c'est on a une conduite en face des travaux publics qui traverse les voies de CN et de

[20:42] CP. On a détecté qu'il y avait un blocage partiel de cette conduite là, Bien que la

[20:47] conduite ne nous appartient pas, on travaille avec le CN et le CP justement pour la faire

[20:52] débloquer, pour assurer le bon fonctionnement de notre réseau. Mais c'est un exemple parmi

[20:58] d'autres. Plan d'intervention en cas de forte pluie. Donc on on sait quand qu'il y a de la

[21:05] pluie qui s'en vient, bien que la quantité de pluie n'est pas toujours le même, on se prépare

[21:12] en conséquence. On a des activités qu'on fait avant, pendant et après l'intempérie.

[21:20] Premièrement, c'est naturellement, c'est la préparation de nos zones

[21:23] sensibles, la préparation des endroits où on risque de recevoir des contaminants, donc

[21:26] le nettoyage des fossés et surtout la préparation des points d'entrée à certains

[21:31] endroits où on a des grilles qu'il faut soit enlever ou soit nettoyer en fonction de l'eau

[21:36] qui va venir. Il y a aussi la préparation des bâtiments. Donc de la même manière que les

[21:40] résidents font la préparation de leurs bâtiments, bien la ville doit eux même aussi

[21:45] protéger les actifs de la ville et faire une préparation en conséquence pour minimiser des

[21:48] dommages potentiels. Et aussi, on valide la disponibilité des équipements et des des et du

[21:57] personnel durant la tempête. C'est là qu'on va faire la surveillance du réseau et la

[22:02] surveillance des bâtiments, et agir en urgence en temps et lieu. Si, si, c'est nécessaire.

[22:09] Et finalement, après, connaissant nos zones sensibles et les endroits où est-ce qu'il

[22:13] y a naturellement, probablement des débris qui ont rentré dans certains certains secteurs, on

[22:17] va venir faire des inspections et un nettoyage en conséquence, et ça fait le tour de ce qu'on

[22:24] fait au niveau des travaux publics. Mais il y a quand même d'autres activités qui sont

[22:28] faites durant un événement de ce type. Et donc, pour faire. Je vais laisser mon collègue à

[22:32] l'ISP en parler in English, I could say it in English if you'd like I'll go. Yeah!

[22:39] Alright, I'll go quick alright. Sorry, I'm going back and forth. So no problem in terms of the

[22:48] city of Pointe-Claire. WE have two, we have two networks. WE have a sanitary network and we

[22:52] have a storm water network, two separate networks entirely. So for each of these networks.

[23:00] There there are entry points. There are contaminants are there and there's maintenance

[23:03] that we do according to the two separate network on the sanitary side. WE have direct

[23:10] connections from home industry and and and and business these connections directly there

[23:16] people in straight from the home right into the right and to the the condo it so there's

[23:21] no exterior contaminants that can come in there, just the ones that comes from the home,

[23:25] but from the home. There is often residue, there's debris. There is it can be greasy.

[23:31] These things I have a tendency to stick to the to the people and make it necessary to come

[23:35] to the cleaning at some point so for these contaminants what we do what we do for the

[23:40] cleaning is we come and we do a cyclical cleaning of the city, so we do. Certaines sections of

[23:45] the county per year and over the course of three four years. WE will have done an entire

[23:50] cleaning of the entire network from head to toe on the storm water side. It's a little

[23:57] different our entry points are some pumps catch basin and ditch contaminants will the

[24:04] contaminants that comes in from the sump pump side our clean and clean water. That's

[24:08] filtered that comes from the nappe phréatique. WE have on the but we also have leaves and

[24:14] branch and a lot of debris from the road, one thing in the winter. WE have a policy where

[24:20] we don't use abrasive. So no sand and no no stones to control if it's only salt,

[24:28] there's there is there are pros and cons to this but one of the pros is that we don't end up

[24:34] with those contaminants in our network and obviously those will drain out and end up in

[24:38] the catch basin, the types of cleaning that we do in order to combat this tool to respond to

[24:45] these contaminants as well first of all we do the street cleaning which we carry out all

[24:49] throughout the summer months in order to clean the debris off the road and also to clean the

[24:55] degree that accumulate over the over the the catch bass and grill also the catch basin are

[25:02] built with the water reservoir at the bottom there, there's a drop so that everything that

[25:06] end up in the cash back and thinks will end up at the bottom and will stay there. So

[25:11] we have a cyclical program where we come and we will and we will clean these catch basin.

[25:17] WE do something about it here over about the three for your period. WE will have cycled

[25:21] through all of them and they're all clean up and we can you repeat the cycle, the next

[25:27] point. Here we have. Here WE have contaminants that can enter the network is the dishes

[25:33] dish, especially the ones that we're going through forest like terracotta, those can bring

[25:37] debris directly into the country, especially in some areas, we have to remove the

[25:41] grill or or and so that it doesn't get blocked during an event so in these locations

[25:48] after the storm while we know we're gonna have to inspect and we're gonna have to clean a lot

[25:52] of debris will end up in the in the network and carry out some get carried out to the lake,

[25:57] but some doesn't and so we carry out of cleaning after in all these cases. There's a

[26:02] blockage that is suspected or detected. WE will go and we'll carry out and inspections and

[26:08] do the necessary cleaning in both networks and a good example of this is the the pipe

[26:14] that runs across cncp. It's a cncp pipe, but it's part of our network and we detected a

[26:21] partial blockage of it and so we've been working with cncp in order to unblock this pipes to

[26:26] ensure that our network flows as best is possible when it comes to heavy rainfall

[26:33] intervention plant. WE have activities that are done before during and after in order to

[26:40] ensure proper management of the event, so we have ditch cleaning and preparation of

[26:44] entry point. So those entry points where we know, there's a lot of debris that could end up

[26:49] in the network. WE do as best possible cleaning of the dishes in order to reduce the

[26:53] probability of contaminants, entering the entering the ditch and we also will clean the

[26:58] grill, so that the maximum amount of water can enter the system during we'll do

[27:04] surveillance of the network of story when we also validate in the before we do the

[27:10] preparation of the building in the same way that residents will prepare their home and in

[27:15] the case of heavy rainfall the city does the same thing with this buildings. WE prepare them

[27:19] in order to make sure that we minimize the impact from the heavy rainfall and we prepared

[27:24] our equipment and our personal accordingly during the rainfall. Well, that's what we will do

[27:30] the network and building surveillance and urgent intervention when required and

[27:34] then finally after, we'll do the inspection and cleaning of the areas of the areas where we

[27:41] are we had where we could have had some debris enter the system will carry out the

[27:46] inspection and do the cleaning I'm limited two languages, but thank you alright now it over

[27:54] the. Ça, ça va faire avancer mon pointeur. OK? Bonjour tout le monde. Pour la sécurité

[28:12] publique. On a deux façons de voir les événements. Pour nous, on est déjà du service 24 sur

[28:19] sept 365 jours par année. Notre centre de communication pour la Ville de Pointe-Claire et est

[28:25] situé à la Ville de Pointe-Claire, au Bureau de la sécurité publique. Ce qui est

[28:31] important de savoir, c'est qu'on a avant. Si on est au courant qu'il va y avoir un

[28:35] événement, on est capable de se préparer, on est capable de faire venir des employés

[28:42] supplémentaires, on est capable de faire appel à notre unité d'équipe élite de Rescue, le

[28:48] Pointe-Claire Volunteer Rescue Unit. On est capable aussi de faire du monitoring pour nos

[28:54] collègues des travaux publics, à savoir si on détecte des anomalies, des débordements, de

[29:00] l'eau sur les rues. On va aider à peut être déployer des arrêts amovibles. Si jamais on voit

[29:05] qu'il y a des rues qui sont impassables, on peut des fois assister les services de police,

[29:09] le service d'incendie. Il faut dire que nous autres, on travaille en collaboration avec

[29:14] la ville de Pointe-Claire, avec ce qu'on appelle le CCM, le Centre de coordination des

[29:18] mesures d'urgence de l'agglomération de Montréal. Fait que, oui, on a nos propres

[29:23] initiatives en mesures d'urgence, mais on est aussi. On fait partie d'une plus

[29:26] grosse équipe de l'agglomération de Montréal. Souvent, c'est eux autres qui

[29:31] vont nous donner l'information que, attention, en fin de semaine, il y a une alerte, il

[29:36] va y avoir tant de millimètres de pluie, c'est tout. Raccorder avec Environnement Québec, etc.

[29:41] Fait que, quand on le sait à l'avance, on est capable de préparer en amont. Dans

[29:46] d'autres cas, bien là, si on apprend un incident à la dernière minute, comme la

[29:51] dernière pluie qu'on a eu au mois d'août, que ce n'était pas prévu pantoute, ni les services

[29:57] d'urgence, ni les pompiers, ni nous autres, personne ne l'a vu venir. C'est arrivé. Tout le

[30:01] monde était pris par surprise. C'est Dame Nature, c'est la nature des événements à ce

[30:08] moment là. Bien, moi, je fais rentrer des cadres supplémentaires, je fais

[30:11] rentrer du personnel supplémentaire. On essaie de coordonner les appels, on

[30:16] essaie de prioriser certains appels. Quels sont les appels qu'on peut aider? Plus de monde

[30:22] tout en ne pas mettant en danger nos employés. Exemple si un sous-sol est inondé de

[30:27] quatre pieds d'eau, l'électricité est encore active. J'enverrais ni mon personnel ni

[30:33] mon équipe de PCV parce qu'à ce moment là, j'ai des dangers. Je laisse ça aux spécialistes des

[30:40] services d'incendie. Faire des choses comme ça, des fois, il faut bloquer des rues parce que

[30:45] même sur des rues comme Amy, même s'il y a des bassins de rétention, il y a des

[30:49] accumulations d'eau. Ça fait qu'on est tous en train de travailler en équipe, puis

[30:53] c'est ça qui est important. On connaît notre ville, on connaît les points de vulnérabilité, on

[30:58] a une bonne collaboration avec nos citoyens, on continue à travailler avec eux autres,

[31:02] Puis on. Même la dernière fois, on a pris toutes les informations de toutes les

[31:06] personnes qui ont été impliquées. On donne ces informations là à nos équipes

[31:10] d'ingénierie communication, puis on travaille, on travaille avec les communications aussi

[31:14] pour préparer les messages pour vous, pour que vous soyez préparés aux événements, parce

[31:18] que, comme nous, on doit se préparer, vous devez vous préparer aussi. On essaie de

[31:22] vous donner le maximum d'informations, puis ça fait partie de notre présentation ce

[31:25] soir. Ça fait qu'en anglais. Connaître Public Security is the tool for our seven days a

[31:33] week service our communication center is located in Pointe-Claire, but we are part

[31:39] of a bigger team, we work with the. Le centre de mesures d'urgence de l'agglomération de

[31:46] Montreal. So which means that it's the whole entire island of Montreal working together, they

[31:50] have a specific team for emergency that cover large areas of the island. They give

[31:55] in the comments. WE have certain of our own plans locally. But we also work with

[32:00] them if we know in advanced that it's coming, then we can prepare, we can put more stuff,

[32:06] we can put more people at the community center. But it's always the question of capacity.

[32:10] I can put for five people in the communication center. But I've I've got a thousand calls

[32:15] every ten minutes coming in I like to be one one like nine-one-one. There's only so

[32:20] much the capacity. WE can do same thing with my staff. WE work with the rescue unit,

[32:25] which is a group of volunteers and there one hundred pour 100 volunteers, but when emergency

[32:30] is like this happen. WE put them on call. They're all there already. And if we need them to

[32:36] cut three or pump, then we can use them for that but again. It's a question of capacity. I

[32:41] don't have a thousand and there are about twenty five presently. WE set up we helped public

[32:49] works by monitoring the area by sending public works and in the right zone setting up Watergate

[32:54] with public works to protect certain specific buildings of the city, because if we use our

[33:00] capacity to help you will then we have this advantage so we have to make sure that the city

[33:05] continues to be able to operate regardless of the storm and in certain we will move equipment

[33:11] around will trying to help everybody when we have a reactive situation. It's

[33:15] because we don't know. What's coming alone in last August, nobody nous not environnement

[33:20] Quebec not ccmu security civils, Not as nobody knew what was coming. You know I think they

[33:27] were saying. We're getting it like five millimeters of rain. Nobody gets excited about

[33:30] millimeters. But it's always a question of how much rain in how much time we can get a

[33:35] hundred millimeters of rain, but if it's over for this is not the end of the world, so in

[33:40] that case well, we do about the same thing. WE call in more employees and we try and

[33:45] prioritize what we need to do. WE call our rescue team in and we take one call at the time

[33:50] and we try and give the the calls that I have the most impact on people and who can

[33:55] help the most, but we know people are everyone wants our health at the same time. The

[34:00] important thing is if you're gonna call us, Call us wants some people with three hours

[34:05] phones at the same time. Well, you're just gonna block all the lines for everybody else just

[34:09] be patient and get through to us and with every call counts were there for you and

[34:16] basically in a nutshell. That's what I can offer you. You're every every person is important

[34:21] to us. But we have a good cooperation with our citizens, you know and even amongst

[34:26] neighbours. WE see that there is a really good cooperation. So we count on you. It's the

[34:30] team after. Thank you. Pretty much all that there. Good evening everyone. Bonsoir tout

[34:45] le monde. Donc au niveau de l'ingénierie, What we do in the early basis is basically

[34:51] gathering information data collection so throughout the year in preparation of our

[34:56] future projects that will have will be preparing for the next year. WE do various collecting

[35:02] data so sure TV inspection again, It's not the entire network. It's basically what we

[35:08] need for us to prepare our future projects in the next coming years. WE do also land

[35:14] surveying to make sure that we're ready for us to prepare and do our designs, we do

[35:20] environment and caractéristiques environnementales. Basically

[35:24] just to make sure that if we have needs special permit or authorizations from the

[35:29] minister. WE have it all ready in advance. WE do soil testing depending on the what's going

[35:36] on the site? Where can we use it? CAN it be used somewhere else or do we have to get rid

[35:42] of all of it? On a yearly basi as well everytime we look at the project, we tried

[35:49] systematically to incorporate storm water measures in every of our projects. Sometimes it's

[35:57] durable. Sometimes we can sometimes we can't we'll see you later on in the twenty

[36:01] twenty six when it we go through the different project. Some are very positive and we

[36:07] can try to do something to improve the situation and also we all the data that is being

[36:15] collected with the phone calls with the email with all the information that we get through

[36:21] communication and the common that we get from public works as well, we are able to analyze

[36:26] that and identify the problem areas as well on our maps. This is very small just to give you

[36:35] an idea of the different maps that we have we have the map with the address, we have maps

[36:41] with the drainage system with the variant basin as well and the different colours are

[36:48] quoted for it was that the event of August night. Twenty twenty four was that the event

[36:54] of this year in July, twenty five. So we tried to gather the information on those maps and

[36:59] for us to focus on the problematique areas as you could tell it's there is a bit

[37:06] of red and bit everywhere. It's not like we could say okay this area specifically is where we

[37:10] should address in the next two three years, but we have an idea, we have in areas that we

[37:16] should be locked into more details if we think of Belmont Glen Lynn, this is something

[37:22] that will be talking about later on if we are talking about the crack more bradbrook.

[37:27] That's something else also that has been mentioned in the past, and when we look at the various

[37:33] simulations with the hydraulic tools that we have we can confirm the few information as

[37:39] well when we gather all the information so before I go ahead with the various projects

[37:47] that we are gonna look into in the future. Just a few information. It's nothing new

[37:54] all everyone is aware of this all the various. Les pluies torrentielles qu'on a vécu au

[38:01] cours des dernières années, on voit que ça augmente considérablement. On ne peut

[38:05] plus dire que c'est une fois de temps en temps, il y aura de telles pluies. On peut voir

[38:11] depuis 2022, on a pratiquement des pluies une fois aux 200 ans, 1 à 2 fois par année. Donc on

[38:17] voit que c'est la tendance, c'est les changements climatiques, C'est quelque

[38:20] chose avec lesquelles on devra travailler pour le futur. Il y a des mythes aussi qui existent.

[38:28] On avait un an depuis la tempête Debby pour régler ça. Qu'est ce qu'on a fait? Qu'est

[38:32] ce qu'on a fait pour régler ça? On s'entend que les réseaux d'égouts datent de plusieurs

[38:37] années. Ça a été bâti. Lorsqu'on parlait d'un climat du XXe siècle, on a eu beaucoup,

[38:44] beaucoup d'adaptations au cours des dernières années. Ce n'est pas que tout d'un coup, depuis

[38:49] qu'on a. C'est plus torrentiel, là, qu'on pense au réseau pluvial. Depuis que je suis ici

[38:53] en 2000, et même avant ça, mes prédécesseurs y incluaient le drainage. C'était des

[39:00] simulations hydrauliques qu'on faisait. Évidemment, les types de pluies ont changé. On a

[39:06] adapté les types de pluies avec les nouvelles réglementations gouvernementales aussi pour

[39:11] s'ajuster, mais là, ça va plus vite que ce qu'on était habitué, puis c'est quelque chose avec

[39:17] lesquelles on devra travailler dans le futur. Il faut juste élargir les conduites d'égout.

[39:23] Oui, mais on n'a pas d'arbres avec beaucoup d'argent dans le parc Terracotta qui pourrait

[39:29] nous aider pour investir et faire tous ces travaux là. Donc. Si je résume un petit peu For

[39:39] the storm water system, how does it work? Well basically the storm water network is

[39:43] designed to collect and direct rain water from streets and property to the storm sewer

[39:48] pipes, which then discharged into the lake, so the catch bassin that we see near the

[39:53] curve in the street collects the water brings it to the man pipes and then towards the lake

[39:59] afterwards during light rainfall the system operating efficiently rainwater flows

[40:05] into catch basin and is quickly drain towards underground pipes preventing water accumulation

[40:11] when it's a bit heavier when there's a lot of rain now the fact that the system can not

[40:17] hold it all of it, so then you start getting water accumulation on the streets

[40:24] again when we do our simulations with our network with our hydraulic tools that

[40:29] we have it's not ideal, but it's still part of the retention when we have a bit of

[40:36] water in the street. It's normal. It's not ideal I agree but it's part of the concept de

[40:41] design for our one to five year. Rainfall. This is something that is considered normal.

[40:48] Obviously, we don't want it to go towards the property that something else and in extreme

[40:55] quasi then the system is completely full and it actually invert the flow to reverse the

[41:01] flow instead of going in the pressure is so strong in the pipe. It just comes back up

[41:06] afterwards. So like I said we have a design that we use one to five years. Rainfall event.

[41:15] This is something that has been used for the longest time. WE improved and the use the new

[41:24] rainfall that are the data from the ministère as well, so we are just as we go along and

[41:32] also to consider larger retention basin and also green infrastructure. What we want to

[41:40] do here is basically slow it down instead of standing everything right away to the

[41:45] network. What can we do to slow it and make sure that we can increase d'infiltration. As you

[41:53] know Pointe-Claire as a lot of clay. The soil is clay. That's not the best material our soil

[41:59] to aloe, but it's something that we have to work with and it's also something that we use

[42:06] in our calculations. Donc, le but des infrastructures vertes, c'est vraiment ça. Ça va être

[42:15] important. Puis ça, c'est des verbes super importants qu'il faut retenir, rediriger,

[42:21] collecter, emmagasiner, ralentir, filtrer et redistribuer les eaux pluviales.

[42:26] Comme j'ai dit, on veut pas envoyer l'eau immédiatement au réseau, parce que c'est ça qui

[42:31] fait en sorte que ça vient en surcharge le plus rapidement possible. Donc évidemment, en

[42:36] faisant de tels aménagements ou regardez pas, regardez pas. C'est ça, on veut améliorer la

[42:48] qualité de l'eau, diminuer les risques d'inondation, d'inondation et d'érosion et de

[42:54] s'assurer de travailler avec les nappes phréatiques aussi. Des fois, on a beau dire, on va

[42:58] ralentir, mais la nappe phréatique est tellement haute qu'on doit travailler avec ces

[43:02] données et ces informations là pour ensuite alléger la pression sur nos

[43:06] infrastructures. Donc, lors de faibles pluies, les parcs et les espaces verts gèrent l'eau

[43:11] provenant des surfaces et des rues adjacentes. Donc le but c'est de prendre l'eau. Est ce

[43:16] qu'il y a des accumulations en tant normal, si on peut dire, de bonnes pluies, et de la

[43:23] rediriger dans des espaces verts ou dans des parcs pour ensuite permettre au réseau de

[43:32] résorber. Ensuite, lors de fortes pluies. Là encore une fois, ça s'en va vers les

[43:40] surfaces engazonnées et ça agit comme un réservoir naturel où est-ce que l'on peut voir des

[43:47] accumulations à l'intérieur de ces infrastructures? So what are the benefits obviously

[43:53] making it greener, it's always nicer biodiversity reduction of heat islands and also making it

[44:01] more beautiful. These are just a few example that we could use. WE could have those. Vegetarian

[44:11] soil or dish. WE could have perméable. Pavement drainage pavement. WE have also these

[44:19] ones bio retention islands or ring gardens like we talked about earlier on winthrop

[44:25] avenue. Par exemple. That's something similar that we did alongside the road near the

[44:31] school. WE had we have also grass covered drainage ranch that could be installed along

[44:40] big open green space and the flood playing that something that will explain a little bit

[44:46] later with our twenty twenty six projects that we have on the table for next year. Et des

[44:54] solutions un peu plus conventionnelles, donc de la rétention en conduites

[44:59] surdimensionnées souterraines, ou encore des grands bassins de rétention de sédimentation à

[45:05] ciel ouvert tel qu'on voit ici, ou encore même au parc Hermitage. C'est un bassin qui

[45:12] est également dans ce style là. Donc pour le plan de gestion des eaux pluviales, c'est en

[45:19] lien direct avec notre planification, Planification stratégique. 23 2030 Donc, au

[45:25] niveau de l'objectif, si on parlait de transition écologique et résilience,

[45:29] qu'est ce que Pointe-Claire peut faire pour vraiment être plus résilient face aux

[45:33] changements climatiques? On veut également, avec cet outil là, être en mesure de mesurer

[45:38] la vulnérabilité des différentes infrastructures existantes. On veut cibler les

[45:43] zones prioritaires d'intervention, trouver des solutions à court, moyen et

[45:48] long terme. On veut établir des stratégies d'adaptation dans la planification annuelle des

[45:54] travaux. En d'autres mots, qu'est ce qu'on peut intégrer au PT d'une année à l'autre? On

[46:00] s'entend que la liste de besoins est énorme et les enveloppes budgétaires sont

[46:04] toujours à respecter, évidemment. Donc, c'est ça fait partie de la priorisation

[46:10] également. On veut diminuer les charges, les volumes et les débits dans le réseau et

[46:15] améliorer la résilience de la ville. C'était mentionné tantôt avec M. Girouard, comme quoi on

[46:23] a créé un partenariat avec le TS, donc un de leurs professeurs, un honnêtement,

[46:30] une ressource incroyable dans le domaine. Partout où vous parlerez au Québec, ils vont

[46:35] connaître monsieur Jean Luc Martel. Donc, c'est quelqu'un de très, très compétent dans le

[46:39] domaine, avec un de ses étudiants en maîtrise. There is looking into this storm water

[46:47] management plant specifically clear. It's not like that will take something that they did

[46:52] elsewhere another city and then it will plug in Pointe-Claire and it's gonna make we're gonna

[46:57] make it work. No, no, they're really going through all the data that we have. It's a very

[47:03] very detailed project and very anxious to show the results that are gonna come later on

[47:11] we've been looking at this in April twenty twenty four so just to give you an idea with

[47:17] before the august night event. So just for people to know it was on our radar before and

[47:23] then we did the different steps signed with its for the main, the the mandate and then where

[47:31] is underway as we speak and we should expect the first report in April of next year and next

[47:39] summer for the final report. En bref, c'est quoi un plan de gestion des eaux pluviales? On

[47:47] l'a identifié rapidement aussi tantôt. Donc c'est d'identifier les zones vulnérables selon les

[47:52] topographie et les infrastructures. Leur capacité, c'est d'ajuster, de recalibrer

[47:57] l'ensemble de notre nos simulations hydrauliques. Donc, on travaille avec un système

[48:02] depuis plusieurs années. On voulait être certain qu'il était à jour, qui reflète les

[48:06] nouvelles données de pluie actualisées. On veut parler de pluie actuelle, on ne veut pas

[48:12] parler des pluies des années 80. On veut vraiment que ça soit quelque chose à jour avec les

[48:18] réalités, avec tous les développements qui sont également incorporés. On veut

[48:24] identifier les différents risques à certains endroits, lors d'événements extrêmes. And

[48:31] we want them to recommend infrastructure, upgrade and green interventions on public

[48:36] and private property give us recommendations. What can we do on our property and what can

[48:42] the residence do as well provided prioritization framework to guide future

[48:50] investments so based on cost benefit analysis, risk mitigation as well and impact

[48:56] on residence we want to integrate lend us planning consideration as well ensuring

[49:02] that zoning and development policy the line into storm water objectives. So the bylaws

[49:08] that are existing now can be adjusted will look into this with the planning with the

[49:14] general manager as well. So it's something that we're going to adapt to what coming up and

[49:21] proposed monitoring and maintenance strategies to ensure long-term effectiveness.

[49:30] Donc les différents projets, je l'ai abordé brièvement. On a en cours, on a qui s'en viennent

[49:35] l'année prochaine et dans les années à venir. What has been done in the past, those were

[49:41] the ones that were kind of more important where we basically made the pipe way bigger on

[49:48] holiday, quartier Mason and Ovide. Maybe you've seen this a long time in front of the

[49:56] terrarium. Pour exemple, it's not under the streets, but it's on the green space on the south

[50:03] side of times again like we had mentioned earlier parc hermitage with the bassin de

[50:11] rétention. Something more, we did the parking lot at public works. WE did some jardins de

[50:20] pluie au parc Belmont and near again close to this one on near the sentier near sunnyside

[50:27] avenue as well. This is a table showing the various projects with the years that they were

[50:35] done and the amount that were reserved for this project. As for the twenty twenty five

[50:45] projects. What we did with our big project was elegant parc. That's the green space between

[50:51] Elgin and elmwood Basically we wanted to make sure that the water that was on this site was

[51:00] managed properly not going to words private property as well. So it was a great experience

[51:06] doing this one, we learned a lot. Oui, integrated a lot of storm water water management

[51:13] strategy and this project was a great big project that we did this year. I went through hope

[51:19] I mentioned it a few times. This is the area that we are talking about and then

[51:25] Lansdowne park, we did a bit of a drainage management with various dishes and drainage

[51:32] pipes in that project as for waverly woodland phase two. It's something that it's the

[51:39] type for twenty twenty six, but were also continuing our approach with the minister to

[51:45] make sure that we get all the. Toutes les autorisations requises. Now for twenty twenty

[51:54] six projects our main one. It's gonna be the area. That's near just north of Belmont avenue

[52:04] and south of the terracota park. Just to give you an idea. This is Glen Lyn avenue and then

[52:11] belmont right here. So there is the various issues here Glen Lynn as we know the big ditch

[52:19] going through the terracota here with the grille that public workers to ensure the

[52:27] proper functioning of this one. There is also pedestrian path in the park. That's a little

[52:35] bit here on top of the hill. Here I don't know if you see it as well. A lot of the water

[52:43] that was coming from the top of the hill towards the back of those property. WE had that was

[52:49] one of the issues as well and when there is big big events. Yes, the water can overflow

[52:56] here there is water accumulation here many times a little bit further along belmon

[53:02] and sandalwood here as well. So this was the original project and then as we were going

[53:10] further and further and gathering information said. OK? What else? CAN we do the fact

[53:15] that there is a papillon butterfly park right here. There is a big soccer field

[53:23] here big green space and when we were looking at various accumulation. Here here there

[53:30] said. OK, what can we do that will improve and have a bigger retention capacity again. Je

[53:36] vous rappelle les verbes qu'on avait tantôt rediriger, collecter, emmagasiner et

[53:43] ralentir. Donc ce sont des icônes que vous allez voir souvent si vous voyez nos

[53:47] présentations. Mais on veut vraiment passer le message, puis c'est ça qu'on veut faire

[53:52] dans un type de projet comme ça. Donc, on a des belles opportunités, on doit présenter

[53:58] le projet dans tous les détails aux membres du conseil prochainement. Je n'entrerai

[54:05] pas trop dans le détail de ce projet-là, mais dans le fond, tous les intrants, tous les

[54:10] aspects qui ont été adressés ou soulevés lors de la préparation sont également incorporés. Donc,

[54:17] on a une belle opportunité. Big Green space What can we do with this? So it's something that

[54:22] we're gonna incorporate in our design. Basically it's not a secret. Well creative LED plein

[54:30] so basically this is our flood playing where we would have excess water going into this

[54:36] area a little bit higher than this one. So at least if this is flooded for a little bit

[54:43] because of the big big big heavy rain for certaine period. This is not usable, but then

[54:49] after a few hours a day. Maybe it, then go back to the lower section. These are just the

[54:57] basic principle, but where. On finalise la conception avec les différentes données. Qu'est-ce

[55:04] qu'on a besoin pour compléter notre conception? Justement, c'est quelque chose qu'on fait

[55:09] tout au long de l'année. On a soulevé brièvement tantôt ce qu'on faisait. Ça, c'est une

[55:15] coupe dans l'autre direction. Donc, si on abaisse le terrain de soccer, par exemple, ça nous

[55:22] crée une zone d'entreposage pour l'eau durant les pires événements. Ça s'en va dans le

[55:28] point bas. La surface de jeu est encore utilisable. Et quand le réseau est en mesure de

[55:36] reprendre l'eau, bien, cette accumulation aussi retourne tranquillement dans le réseau

[55:42] pluvial. Donc ça, c'est les grandes lignes. Je n'entrerai pas beaucoup plus dans le

[55:45] détail, mais c'est le principe de base qu'on veut faire avec un type. Un tel projet. Donc,

[55:52] les différentes études préliminaires qu'on doit faire. Donc, oui, on a eu beaucoup de

[55:57] choses qu'on a fait avant. Il y a des choses qui se font pendant la conception et pour

[56:02] finaliser nos conceptions, pour être sûr de nos quantités et de nos estimations de coûts. On a

[56:07] également besoin de faire tout ce genre d'études préliminaires. Donc, au niveau des permissions,

[56:13] au niveau du gouvernement, est-ce qu'on. C'est un milieu humide? Est-ce qu'on a besoin

[56:17] d'un biologiste, d'un arpenteur-géomètre? Dans ce cas, c'est yes, we did need it

[56:22] because it was in a terracotta parc not knowing exactly if it was the park. Un milieu humide.

[56:28] So we didn't need a specialist in this when they did the land serving in terracotta parc the

[56:36] survey with all the various trees. What's the pattern of the water? Where does it go?

[56:41] Where does it drain? And these are all information that was necessary for us to do our

[56:47] design and obviously the land surveyors will make sure that we work on our city property

[56:54] that there is no servitude Is there a Hydro-Québec any service so stuff like that has

[57:00] to be locked in two prior or during our design in this case. The land serving was done in

[57:09] spring of twenty twenty five again. Caractérisation environnementale. So in order

[57:15] for us to get the okay from the ministère. We've got to make sure that the biologist are

[57:22] considering the sont venus observer au printemps in the summer and in the fall again to

[57:28] make sure that are all the vegetaux. Les zones humides et la présence d'animaux également.

[57:33] So depending on the season, they come three times at least and make sure that they see all

[57:39] of this information for us to get the okay afterwards. There's many discussions a lot

[57:48] of communications with them. So it's a lot of back and forth for us to get the approach.

[57:53] L'approbation later on and the report should be then we should receive it within the next few

[57:59] weeks, the last two information that we really like to incorporate is also in this

[58:07] situation. WE had this entire sector that was we sans letters and it was a survey hundred and

[58:15] five letters where to residence we wanted to gather the information. OK, Have you ever

[58:20] got any floods? Where was the water coming from was it coming from the street? Was it coming

[58:25] from the back? WE wanted to gather all the information for us to do the design properly

[58:30] and make sure that we address whatever situation that we can do on our property if we do

[58:36] something hear that it solves something else on the private property. That's our goal.

[58:40] That's what we want to incorporate in our projects and the last thing also maybe

[58:47] you've seen this in here, it's basically to do so all testing the determines on a certain

[58:54] area of our projects. There is the standard if we have I don't know this size of projects,

[59:02] then we need to do thirty Warhol or there is specific, there is the distance between

[59:07] each borneol that is necessary as well for us to gather all the information when they do

[59:12] the testing, we are going to be able to use that material or it has to be excavated and thrown

[59:19] or. A d'autres zones de. So that's it so basically, this is the last information that we

[59:33] really need for us to complete the design and again will be presenting the final project to

[59:38] the council before there is anything public that will be going and be available our

[59:48] other project that will be incorporating storm management projects will be even though

[59:54] like we said every single project that we spot on the type. WE look is it feasible.

[59:59] Yes or not know and if it is we try our best to incorporated in this case again. WE had even

[1:00:08] one are ready for the longest time. You could see the situation with the Waterman,

[1:00:14] the sewers where is really bad condition? The road is really bad as well, so that was a

[1:00:21] project that was on our skype for a while and because we're talking so much of the storm

[1:00:26] water management. WE are what can we do in this case to improve the situation just to

[1:00:32] get back. Here we have even know that connect to break. Brooke So obviously, we can not

[1:00:40] necessarily put a very very big pipe on HIV and how knowing that break. Brooke as a certain

[1:00:46] diameter. WE won't put something bigger on even and then. C'est l'effet d'entonnoir.

[1:00:52] Basically, you want to make sure that it collects and retains enough water without

[1:00:57] causing any problems to the residence before it goes back into the network slowly. So

[1:01:05] this is just an existing view of the streets as it is right now. So I have the year paving.

[1:01:12] You have some place. You have a ditch someplace I've been filled but there's a little

[1:01:17] pipe underneath on both sides. You have the water man in the middle the sanitary at the

[1:01:22] bottom here where you have the property lines and its side so basically this is the existing,

[1:01:29] we're planning the presentation to the residence that are directly involved in this

[1:01:35] project, so at this point, it's something that we can share just this, but it's something

[1:01:41] that we're definitely. On veut vraiment optimiser la rétention, la gestion des eaux pluviales.

[1:01:46] Dans un petit projet comme ça, chaque mouvement, chaque projet qu'on fait vient aider la

[1:01:53] gestion des eaux pluviales sur l'ensemble du territoire également. So it's pretty much.

[1:02:05] Just to quickly recap. I hope that the information was that interesting and useful. Some

[1:02:12] points to return essentially in twenty twenty six upcoming developments, we have over

[1:02:17] three in one million dollar as those of the project that I had just outlined with respect to

[1:02:22] storm water management and the public domain that will take place throughout the next year.

[1:02:27] WE also have the update of our bylaws and the new bylaws that will essentially allow us to

[1:02:35] launch the program for intervention on the private domain and we have new

[1:02:40] communication tools. Also that are coming out with respect to heavy rainfall and storm water

[1:02:46] management and once again. WE want to deploy those in early twenty twenty six, just a quick

[1:02:52] recap for you some and I know that not we are open for questions and we thank you for

[1:02:59] your attention this evening. Éviter d'aller au micro, Sinon on entend bien Those of you

[1:03:12] don't want to ask questions. You can come up to the Mike and. Good evening and also. Mais

[1:03:24] would where have already the pipe the change in the. Night to use, but we get the same

[1:03:34] flood, but sur backup. Usually we have the dream on the underground and the and we have

[1:03:40] the hole for the pump in the past when we have no electricity when the power stop

[1:03:48] and the water flow it drain in the hole in the middle of the bismuth. But in twenty twenty

[1:03:56] twenty for it in the water, it came from that drain and thanks God, I was downstairs, I

[1:04:03] blocked, but we're still too much of pressure it fill up the basement like not about. Six

[1:04:11] inches. So that is exactly what we do in the people in the night you. I think about six

[1:04:18] feet before was a small one and even when the small one when you have rain heavy rain it

[1:04:24] happened in ninety six. Whenever I have a flood or any sur back up, but this is what

[1:04:29] happened in the twenty twenty twenty four August nine like we had mentioned also the various

[1:04:37] myths that are saying okay, just increase the pipe will be able to solve all the problems

[1:04:43] with we just increase the size of the pipe. It's one option. But it still won't solve

[1:04:48] everything we have to work with plan B or where we could Yes, we know sometimes even the big

[1:04:54] big pipe will will be full and will bacphilo because the pressure is so strong and I

[1:05:01] understand it seems like because we got it bigger than we're gonna be okay for all the

[1:05:07] various occasions. So we did improve the situation, but it's not the one in the hundred

[1:05:14] years rainfall that will address every single time first of all will be in that pipe if

[1:05:21] that's the case and even if it's gonna serve once every thirty years and the investment

[1:05:27] is just at one point. It's so many as well and that's something that's very sensitive

[1:05:34] that we want to address as many of situations as possible. But we just at one point can not

[1:05:41] design for these types of events on a yearly basis because I live in the new house

[1:05:50] in the night. Wouldn't have all this high-rise building built the last ten years more than

[1:05:54] twenty high-rise building more than thousand years. It would have all that in the mountains.

[1:06:00] That's why all that even the people were the small for the source of the the clear that we

[1:06:05] don't have any problem. The all this year is one of five thousand and all the population

[1:06:12] more than ten thousand people. I'm sure that is also affect the the floor and in the source

[1:06:18] is all this waste water. It goes to the source. So if it is full, it's going to back up.

[1:06:25] The climate change is one thing for sure, but back, then also the retention the bylaws for

[1:06:31] retention on their own private property. We're not the same way Reduced. It is very. It's

[1:06:38] only ten. Leaders par seconde, par hectare. As we speak right now. So it's something that we

[1:06:44] really reduced compared to what it used to be in the past. So it's not because of the new

[1:06:49] development that there is more water actually when they will develop and change the zoning

[1:06:55] or the property at this time as soon as they change whatever on their parking lot or on the

[1:07:02] roof of their buildings. They have to have a retention which they didn't have in the past.

[1:07:06] So we improved the situation basically yes, but the waste water from all this is where it

[1:07:13] goes to go to the source. If the source is can you? There is this water that is coming in

[1:07:18] even if it, there is a new building and new development. There is less water going in

[1:07:23] the network, then it was in the past because now we have restrictions before there was

[1:07:28] none of any solution now for us because that is exactly what happened in the drain when it's

[1:07:35] is the water is coming. Even if it was so so strong that the pressure it came came out what

[1:07:42] you mention bradbrook and would that's the area that is part of the zone that we're here

[1:07:48] because it would here because the only way that would it too many house is well that I said

[1:07:56] sector. WE work together and all that really like if you want any information you can

[1:08:03] you can give all the information and we show you all even I have the sample from the

[1:08:08] water if you want to know exactly I keep it if you know there. You were all in I keep

[1:08:13] it, but it's what we have in our. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Merci. I'm. Terracotta park

[1:08:28] right in front of the. Park and the. Not at all right. OK. Alright. So I have loved there

[1:08:49] since thousand and three, I noticed you have been mentioning twenty twenty twenty

[1:08:55] twenty twenty twenty five flooded and two thousand thirteen when the city came to

[1:09:03] look at the house and two thousand thirteen, the inspector had never heard of

[1:09:07] that street flooding before I had seen it flood twice before and so this is not my point.

[1:09:12] This is not necessarily. Only a very recent event. It's been looking for a long time. I

[1:09:21] tried to speak to I've got some things you have loved there since the very beginning

[1:09:26] haven't been able to get all of them to get the impression that let me know just how long does

[1:09:31] this before going on I. This is the point donegani the corner of sandalwood and Belmont is

[1:09:43] lower than donegani street. This was designed that way so so I'm very interesting and

[1:09:51] what you're planning to do in front of my house. Like I said we have to present the final

[1:09:57] project to the council. First and then we alright because you don't know more than what we've

[1:10:02] seen today. WE know more to just something that we're not going to share to everyone

[1:10:07] before the council. See the final all right are those basing. N'ont pas that soccer

[1:10:19] field is probably. I don't have two here than the streets. So I'm very curious to know how

[1:10:24] the water is going to get to that to that everything will be created with. The street

[1:10:34] surface. There is gonna be a lot of truth is going in front of the house and for the next

[1:10:39] few years in that case for sure alright, another issue just to come at extra information that

[1:10:46] Glenn Lynn ditch coming from terracotta. It's also something that we have discussion with

[1:10:51] the agglomération de Montréal. It's their ditch their supposed diameter. It's their

[1:10:59] responsibility. WE are working public works with them as well we maintain it. But it's very

[1:11:04] hard to have access. There's no roads or no pas for equipment as well. So it's we have the

[1:11:11] meeting with them few weeks ago and trying to make them more involved in this issue alright.

[1:11:19] WE know that that is a huge retention basse and already right. The creek is really deep

[1:11:26] full of water when before it starts to glendon. Considered to build the berme along the

[1:11:35] top of Glen Street, so that we're holding more water back into the park there, you could

[1:11:41] do thousands of cubic meter of water additional water retention in the park itself by

[1:11:49] building a burning there of one or two hundred feet, we send the plants and spikes that were

[1:11:57] the project at the last year was in two thousand. There was a project that was done for the

[1:12:02] entire creek and it was under Montreal as well, so we send the space to make sure that

[1:12:07] they address the situation by any option would be considered I would point. Are you saying

[1:12:12] that has should have been not the itself, but they someone from the meeting at mention.

[1:12:19] Why don't we do have a retention basin somewhere in the park. The top Yes, but I

[1:12:28] want to. Hold back there, but then what's the consequences of stream? Through the park itself

[1:12:39] from saint Louise Street down to Glen Helen, where there is gonna be for dropped there at

[1:12:46] least it's gonna be looked at ok? I'll leave it to the anyhow and thank you. Catherine Baxter.

[1:13:02] One one, two sandalwood so in the same neighborhood, but around the corner from my name

[1:13:07] who is just speaking. Mr Roland mentioned that there was a blocked pipe from cncp our

[1:13:16] theory in our specific neighborhood would have been there that was a significant

[1:13:21] contributor to the water on terracotta avenue just wondering if you can provide us

[1:13:26] with an update of what's going on with that blockage that was found in cncp spip. We've been

[1:13:34] working with them to to get that partial blockage resolved. So on our and we were recently

[1:13:41] actually pumps out all the water in front of their pipes. So we can go down and get

[1:13:45] proper pictures, so that we can give them all the information necessary for them to carry out

[1:13:49] the work and we have a meeting with them coming up this week on the site in order to show

[1:13:54] them exactly where the issue is they came. They did some work there still more work to be

[1:13:59] done so be pumping on our and we were able to clear out all the water to get it clear

[1:14:04] portrait of what the what the issue is on the side and at the same time. WE went on the other

[1:14:09] side. This is on the south side were able to go on the inside and get the clear pictures also

[1:14:14] of the issues on their pipe goes there are few different pipes and it becomes an open

[1:14:18] dish at some point between the track. So there is a lot of debris that can end up in that

[1:14:23] pipes because of that and those sections of pipes belong to them. So we need to follow up

[1:14:28] with them to make sure they do their work and and so we're continuous think there's two

[1:14:32] entities involved and we can't intervene directly on the track. WE can't even go on the track.

[1:14:36] But we're working closely with them to get it down as quickly as possible appreciate the

[1:14:40] updates so my follow-up question. Then is for Mr Benoit is if that has been determined

[1:14:45] to be the reason for the following it took place on terracotta avenue if the track

[1:14:51] being blocked of that is specifically the reason why the corner flooded. It is certainly

[1:14:56] one of the factors for sure. It's one of the factors. There are in that area where there

[1:15:00] are multitudes of different factors, there's handling area and that's why you were

[1:15:06] collecting all the information to figure out exactly where the problem came from and how to

[1:15:11] address it because we don't want to address what we think the problem is and then it just

[1:15:16] happens again, right. So there are there are multitudes of different areas and for

[1:15:19] different parts. It's kind of still relatively large area. But if there's anything that

[1:15:23] partially blocked will that for sure needs to get resolved. So that's an easy and easy win and

[1:15:27] then on the engineering side. They continue with their projects to do a full analysis

[1:15:33] of the final question for this one goes to Mr Roland again and two Mr. Tanguay in terms of the

[1:15:40] response, both by public works and public security in the event of future emergency. How

[1:15:46] has the city new support plan, how will that change in terms of emergency compared to what

[1:15:52] we've seen in the past all the objectives here is to make it so that there is a current

[1:15:57] blockage because in the area where the water is existing it on the surface. WE can't pump

[1:16:02] from one and the other. It's like pump in the water from one side of the pool to another. It

[1:16:07] doesn't help him. WE can't pump over the track and other. So we need to get the water across

[1:16:11] the track and so that's why for us the immediate intervention is to resolve that if you.

[1:16:18] That's the that's the emergency for us ones. That's resolved at least water is going to go

[1:16:22] through this if the network is saturated and saturated. There is nothing we can do it and

[1:16:28] we're in the same body of water and public works against our house instead of driving

[1:16:33] through the flooding water like I'm talking mother. I know preventative You guys are doing

[1:16:39] what you CAN you up against it with cncp, but is there anything in the short term that

[1:16:44] we can do to see the difference in not having a raging river between our house and the flood.

[1:16:53] Because the issues in the short term, but also engineering has already done service of the

[1:16:57] area to see the sandbagging has to be done in the right area and has to have to provide the

[1:17:03] surface of the water is just going around. Well, that's just it's just a waste of time. So

[1:17:07] until we have the actual elevation in everything and we can see that it's actually

[1:17:11] gonna resolve something. It's hard to take it for sure. If there's something we can do we

[1:17:15] will do it. That's the point. When you think that we did with Montreal Montreal roxborough

[1:17:23] and the reason for that was because there is used to flooding from the river and

[1:17:28] they were going and they have all kinds of the latest technology inflatable deck all

[1:17:33] kinds of stuff. So the idea was to go over and see if there's anything that we could learn

[1:17:37] from them to want to come on insight in the area, because we think we have to do something

[1:17:42] temporary quickly in case of a short-term flood and maybe you would really really work

[1:17:50] instead of the sound bike, there might be so yes, they are taking very serious and they

[1:17:54] got some great options coming up and it's a great great initiative that they work

[1:18:01] together. They have experienced in this before. So it's going to help with the update of the

[1:18:07] fact that now it's more identified. You know each storm of changes like we said on the

[1:18:12] map before there is section all over the city. It's not just say well, it's all concentrated

[1:18:17] in one area. So we try and keep an eye on our vulnerable points. So obviously, this will become

[1:18:22] one of our points and we noticed that last time water was going towards the house

[1:18:26] with people were driving up and down the streets are responsible by our block it as

[1:18:30] soon as we can so at least, we don't have that public works does have a second that they

[1:18:35] can't get out through the back end and we can continue to make sure that the water goes

[1:18:39] towards the house. And if if the sewers are cleared like we're hoping to add the water

[1:18:44] pass on the track. It's not because we won't even have to go there, but there are things

[1:18:49] that we can do in response. I can't buy it the water out of there or pump it over to the

[1:18:54] next month. All cause. It's gonna go right back to the same place and come up the whole

[1:18:58] Ontario Canada avenue. But at least if we can maintain that people don't drive through it

[1:19:02] and sound waves to your house is already a good start sounds like and improvement. Thank you.

[1:19:07] Thank you all. My name's Rob. I live at five King. Unfortunately our flooded area

[1:19:16] didn't make your top five list for this year. Maybe next year. WE we leave in a very concrete

[1:19:26] area where we were right beside two stations and the building across from us. Also was deemed

[1:19:33] commerciale after the residential house was turn down, so all that water and doesn't

[1:19:43] get absorbed at all by the grace is really about somebody. We've already put the proposal

[1:19:50] and our neighbours have we both have the sending driveway and so we have to fill them in and

[1:19:57] I noticed that you did mention and just briefly mentioned subsidies. I know montreal as I

[1:20:02] believe it's called raniplex City of Montreal is offering somebody to to get the work

[1:20:10] down. WE have we have to get this down. WE can't wait because we stay up at night.

[1:20:15] Waiting to see. How much water is coming down. So it to get out to try to keep the water

[1:20:20] from our basement so. That which is which which is so I'm my questions about subsidies.

[1:20:33] Are they coming? What? What do you know anything more about it? And is it retroactive cause we

[1:20:38] need to get our work doing this spring. WE can't wait for two years Is there any more is

[1:20:46] there any more information about? The coming coming out Twenty twenty six, but the

[1:20:52] exact intervention that will be is it still under? So? That it would be retroactive for

[1:21:05] someone that I go ahead and then that work those that we're looking as well. I can't get

[1:21:10] you that are not that those are some of the elements that we're reflecting with respect to the

[1:21:16] program. On the king is an area that has been identified in the past, Mr. And I know the

[1:21:31] mapping was small, but there are various areas throughout the territory that have been

[1:21:35] identified as high-risk areas. Hello, hello! My name is Daniel. I leave it went away. Prince

[1:21:44] Rupert. Prince Rupert. Prince. Prince. Rupert is next. Not far from the lake shore hospital.

[1:21:54] Close to the Century Park. OK. Our street. In the last twenty years of getting flooded about

[1:22:03] five times. First in at the beginning of the two thousand when all of him was being built

[1:22:10] and everything all the water come down all in them down down down. Prince Rupert. Now I said

[1:22:17] goes down. Prince Rupert towards the century park. The pipe doesn't connect like our

[1:22:26] pip stop halfway in the middle of the street and a new pipe underground, of course started

[1:22:33] to four Wheatley and parcs. So all the water would come from him and come and he there and

[1:22:41] and flood all of our house. This is happening like five time now could we have a look

[1:22:47] at on blocking that pipes and and making an open basin and Century park. That's right

[1:22:54] there. It's not even used as a soccer. Par there is small areas that are used but large

[1:23:01] areas and technology park that are not used to it all and could be dogs and and used in

[1:23:07] case of when we have this and just that it is an area that there were looking into the

[1:23:14] types of interventions. I can't speak to that, but there is an area that I've looked into you

[1:23:19] are looking into to that you know that the pipe doesn't connect in this is why I wanted

[1:23:27] to share this with you sector that we have identified earlier perfect. Thank you. Thank you

[1:23:36] very much. My name is Jennifer Idlewood. I'm in general if the flood management system, also

[1:23:50] is taking into consideration the spring for the issue. There's a lot of people that

[1:23:56] are not on that map. My mom is on the bay. She has flooding in the spring every year and that

[1:24:04] has to do with the creek system that have been filed in behind the bay that ran where the

[1:24:14] temple is down in front of the saint John Fisher Church. I'm wondering if that has also been

[1:24:19] looking at it and has been incorporated into the flood management system while the

[1:24:25] storm management plan that undergoing as we speak will specify and this is something

[1:24:30] that will pop out as well cause we have the the pipe in the street. There's also ditch that

[1:24:35] are existing or have been filled with time as well. So this is something that I'll go

[1:24:40] through everything again in the past. It was drainage towards the back and then people were

[1:24:45] maintaining it and then there was a good flow in the front or and or in the back. This is

[1:24:51] something that will be addressed in the storm water treatment plan is it something

[1:24:56] that we want to go back to is it something that we could have a plan B If there is something

[1:25:02] area with problems. It's yes, it's heavy rainfall, but also snow melt as well where we know

[1:25:09] there is low spot a little bit of everywhere in the city. Another question would be you

[1:25:17] have your maps where the trouble are will all the residents? Have a chance to

[1:25:22] look at that so that they can also had their areas. I know there was a big focus on the

[1:25:28] people that flooded during the floods, but maybe something more general just you can get a

[1:25:34] better idea of cause, there's people that are here even tonight that are made by there

[1:25:40] is that you don't know of because it wasn't wasn't on the red flags that pop up in August,

[1:25:48] twenty twenty four June, twenty twenty just to reassure you basically when they did the

[1:25:54] first presentation of their report that is underway with again, the storm water

[1:26:00] management plan, they put the two data on top of each other all the map that we had the

[1:26:07] data where there was used with the flooding in twenty twenty twenty twenty five and there

[1:26:13] that's what they had simulated in the hydraulique network tools that we have and it was

[1:26:23] matching, whatever we had a complaint or those data were matching. It was pretty

[1:26:28] impressive. Also this will address the other issues that may be people didn't call.

[1:26:33] Maybe you didn't have flooded basement, but there are still issues in the streets. If it

[1:26:38] goes to high in the street. Obviously, it's more at risk for the property around there,

[1:26:43] but it's it was very impressed with the way whose matching, the data was very good and its

[1:26:50] these are also areas that will be locked into last question will there be some kind of

[1:26:56] public consultation before any of these big programs go forward and it just my concern

[1:27:03] might be the butterfly park. That's next to the plan retention areas if there's

[1:27:08] gonna be there or if there is going to be you know protection for that area or just just

[1:27:16] curious. I usually the presentation for this type of projects will be done to the

[1:27:20] rest of evidence that are close by when the contract is awarded and will be presenting the
