Flood risk in Ajax, according to the Town

The Town of Ajax points to two kinds of flooding. In an urban area most rainfall becomes stormwater runoff, so streams and rivers rise quickly in heavy rain. Along the Lake Ontario shoreline, flooding happens when lake levels run higher than normal.

To check whether your home is in a flood-prone area, the Town sends residents to the TRCA Flood Plain Map Viewer. TRCA also issues Lake Ontario shoreline condition, watch and warning messages for the Ajax waterfront.

Who to call in Ajax

Sewage up through a floor drain is a Region of Durham matter, since the Region runs the sanitary sewers in Ajax. Report it to its Works Department at 311 or 905-668-7711, then call us for the cleanup.

For flood warnings, the Town suggests signing up for messages from both TRCA and Central Lake Ontario Conservation.

Ajax questions

My home is near the lake. Does that change anything?

For insurance, it can. Lake or creek water coming in from outside is usually treated as overland flooding, which many Ontario policies only cover as an add-on. Check yours.

Is there a Town of Ajax subsidy for flood protection?

As of October 2026 we could not find a current Town of Ajax or Region of Durham homeowner subsidy for backwater valves, sump pumps or downspout disconnection on their websites. Ask the Town and the Region before you plan work.
