The City of Deux-Montagnes has obtained permission from the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment and the Fight Against Climate Change to install, if necessary, a temporary dike in the event that floodwaters threaten certain areas of the city as they did last year. […]

Update on the Deux-Montagnes dike file

Various initiatives were initiated during the summer by the representatives of the City of Deux-Montagnes to develop a dike to counter the devastating effects of major floods, like the one last spring.  Engineering studies have been commissioned by the City of Deux-Montagnes: a feasibility study, an impact study, and a hydraulic study. The resulting design is a vegetation-covered dike about 300 metres long. Some privately owned low walls will also have to be raised.

Bear in mind that the  City of Deux-Montagnes must obtain authorization from the Quebec government, and in particular from the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment, and the Fight Against Climate Change, to build a dike.
