City officials have determined there are no leaks in city infrastructure that could have led to the flooding of some crawl spaces and basements in the Copper Ridge subdivision.

Brian Crist, the city's director of operations, said this morning that as the developer of the neighbourhood, the Yukon government is taking the lead on the matter.

Eleven home owners have reported flooding in the Zircon Lane area. The city was charged with making sure there were no issues with its water and sewer lines that could be causing the problems.

"The city is acting in a supportive role," Crist said.

The issue first came to the city's attention three weeks ago when crews were called to an area home to shut off service after a line into the home had broken.

After shutting off the service, the contractor doing the repair came in and was only able to excavate down about one metre before work had to stop because it was so wet.

"The ground is just saturated there," Crist said.

Since then, the city has checked its main lines into and around the area to determine there are no leaks, with the government taking the lead as residents have reported flooded crawl spaces and basements.

Home owners have mainly been using sump pumps to get the water out of their houses, Crist said.

Government officials did not return phone calls from the Star by press time early this afternoon.

Crist said a meeting was held with residents on Monday night, and EBA has been hired by the government to investigate the cases.

EBA could not comment on the case this morning, with officials there noting they would have to obtain permission from their client to speak to it.

While it has yet to be determined exactly what is causing the water to seep into homes, Crist suggested the high snow pack this past winter could be a factor in the high level of ground water.
