The Sewer Connection By-Law is currently under review at the City, a new clause related to mandatory connection within areas identified in the Source Protection Plan has been included. The program has been delayed, but the amendment is expected to be complete by 2025. The amendment includes the following: The City shall require connection to the Public Sewage Works in areas where the on-site sewage system is a significant drinking water threat as described in the Clean Water Act, as amended, and associated Technical Rules, as amended, (capacity permitting) where services are available at the property line in the following situations: (1) where an existing system has failed a Phase II Maintenance Inspection and/or an order has been issued to replace or do significant upgrades; or (2) when the Principle Authority has deemed an existing system inadequate to service a proposed redevelopment or renovation; or (3) for new development or existing vacant lots of record. Furthermore, all new development applications within Wellhead Protections Areas where private on-site septic system may be considered a significant drinking water threat are screened by the City’s Risk Management Official, which ensures the policy is implemented prior to approval of the amended Sewer Connection By-Law.
