The Town of Tecumseh says close to 45 property owners have taken advantage of the town's sandbag program.
Earlier this month the town approved the program to battle lake flooding.
Sand was offered to residents living along Lake St. Clair and Pike Creek.
Properties along the north side of Riverside Dr. from Windsor to Pike Creek and along Pike Creek from Lake St. Clair to the VIA Rail line were eligible.
The property owners collected 100 sandbags each.
The town continues to monitor the situation and is working on additional protective measures.
LaSalle, Lakeshore, Leamington, Essex, Amherstburg and Windsor are other area municipalities that have been offering sand bags to their residents.
