Deloraine Winchester council plans to take action to better flood proof the town.

Residents had a chance this past week to attend an information meeting to find out what step will be taken.

Reeve Gord Weidenhamer says the program drew a limited number of people.

Weidenhamer says total cost will be about $550,000.

The province will cover 90 percent and the municipality has to come up 10 percent, roughly $55,000.

Work is expected to get underway in 2016.
