Expanding the eligibility criteria of the Program was determined to be financially and operationally feasible and is timely as it aligns with the recent Council decision in May 2023 to permit residential multiplexes up to fourplexes. This review also supports recommendations from the Program audit conducted in 2017 by the Auditor General. The estimated financial impact over the ten-year period from 2023 to 2032 ($273,280) is not considered significant when compared to the overall Program funding as forecasted in the 2023 Approved Capital Budget and 2024-2032 Approved Capital Plan ($55 million). The operational impact of expanding the Program is not expected to be significant as no additional staff will be required and any Program administrative changes are expected to be minimal.

City Council authorize the General Manager, Toronto Water, to expand the eligibility criteria of the City's Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program (the "Program") to include an eligible registered property owner of an existing residential fourplex property within the City of Toronto, subject to all the terms and conditions of the Program.
