The City of Ottawa has established the Residential Protective Plumbing Program (RPPP) in order to provide financial assistance to homeowners that want to install devices like a sump pump or backwater valve and other approved protective plumbing devices to protect their homes from flooding.

Once your application is submitted and reviewed, the CCTV inspection reviews your sewer system connection, followed by site visits, installation of approved sewer protective plumbing devices, and another final inspection report. In order to take advantage of this program, we recommend you review the details of the Residential Protective Plumbing Program and begin your application.
