Questions to frame the request
Start with a clearer description.
Is a new sump pump automatically eligible for the Hamilton grant?
No. The City describes specific eligibility rules, including a new sump pump and pit installed with a backwater valve. Eligibility and current requirements must be checked directly with the City before work begins.
What should be assessed before a sump system is planned?
The pit, discharge route, available power, water-entry conditions, existing drainage, and backup needs may all affect planning. Exact service scope remains an owner-verification checkpoint for this site.
