Policy Text:

Where sewage, organic solvents, and/or dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) could be a significant threat, Municipalities should consider creating or strengthening sewer-use by-laws to place limits on waste discharges. This by-law should encourage best management practices to reduce release of sewage, organic solvents and DNAPLs into sewers.
The Municipality shall report to the Source Protection Authority when sewer-use by-laws come into effect or are updated or strengthened to include limits on waste discharges.
Note: Additional policies apply. See: MONITORING-5.
