Warwick Area Flooding Review  

The City of Woodstock implemented numerous solutions from the environmental assessment, including upgrades to the Hughson Street Storm sewer, construction of the Knightsbridge Park stormwater management facility (a surface dry pond inside of the Fairgrounds track), and the DM Sutherland facility.

Since then, flooding in the area has reduced and the City stopped receiving basement flooding complaints from area residents. 

The remaining stormwater management solution – the Cambridge/Warwick underground stormwater management facility - proceeded to the detailed design phase where the updated cost estimates proved to be much higher than estimated in the initial environmental assessment.   

Due to the success of the management solutions already implemented and the higher-than-expected costs and severe impacts and disruption to local residents caused by construction, the City of Woodstock has asked AECOM to revisit the environmental assessment to investigate new alternative solutions that will be more cost effective and less disruptive to the local residents. 

The study area will be focused around Hughson Street, Warwick Street and Cambridge Street.
