Despite their wishes, citizens\u2019 hopes for new flood zones in Laval will not happen before next spring. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have no authority to implement anything about Quebec\u2019s flood zones; that rests with Quebec,\u201d said Fran\u00e7ois Brochu, the public relations director of Mayor Marc Demers\u2019 office. \u201cOur consultant says that the information that he\u2019s collected so far indicates a very positive response, but we have no authority to implement anything yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The consultant Brochu is referring to is Pierre Dupuis, who works for WSP Canada Inc. Laval\u2019s executive committee provided WSP Canada Inc. a contract to reevaluate the water levels in lots one to five at their meeting on April 28, 2014. Brochu said the contract was worth $75,000.<\/p>\n

Dupuis\u2019 study isn\u2019t quite finished, but he should complete his work soon. After that, the city has to change their regulations and submit them to Quebec for approval. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe can only begin implementing changes after we modify our regulations properly and have them approved by Quebec,\u201d said Brochu. \u201cThe province will then have 60 days to give an opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The news is a blow for citizens who had been hoping to split land, build swimming pools and construct new buildings this summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey told us that they would have big news for us and that we would know on July 14,\u201d said a citizen, who asked not to be named. \u201cAnyone who wants to sell right now is out of luck. People are using the flood zone rules to bargain for lower prices on homes. The bank and the SHL are checking for those cases and they don\u2019t accept them now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s for these citizens that we are working now,\u201d said Brochu. \u201cLast autumn, the Province of Quebec told us that \u2018if you don\u2019t change your zones to match our data, we\u2019ll change them for you.\u2019 We are doing it under pressure from the Environment Minister.\u201d
