Scam Alert!

It has come to our attention that some homeowners in Markham have been experiencing scam calls from individuals posing as City employees requesting an inspection and installation of flooding protection measures for compliance issues (e.g., sump pumps and backwater valves).

The City of Markham does not contact residents by phone to request installation of flooding protection measures, as there is no mandatory compliance requirement related to the Private Plumbing Protection Rebate Program. We advise residents to be vigilant and use caution.

If you experience any of these scam phone calls, please report it to plumbingrebate@markham.ca

Road Closure Notification

Birchmount Road will be closed from Verclaire Gate to Rougeside Promenade for construction from March 25 to May 25. Detours will be in place.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
