AI Article Summary

In Montreal, Mayor Valérie Plante has pledged to promptly upgrade the city's outdated sewage systems following severe flooding caused by heavy rains. Despite recognizing the urgent need for infrastructure improvements, she acknowledges the challenge due to the city's aging networks. The city plans to implement 'sponge streets' and retention areas to manage water more effectively, while urging residents to take protective measures in the meantime. Efforts are ongoing to better inform citizens about flood-prone areas and improve support from provincial indemnities.
