Important Notice - Beware of Phone Scams for Plumbing Protection Rebate Program

Updated: March 21, 2024

It has come to our attention that homeowners have been contacted by individuals posing as City employees asking to inspect or install flood protection devices such as sump pumps and backwater valves.

The City of Markham does not contact homeowners directly for such requests.

If you receive any of these scam phone calls, please contact Markham Waterworks at 905.477.5530 or customerservice@markham.ca
