Municipal Water Issues
Property owners experiencing or who notice Municipal water issues can contact the Municipality by calling (519) 245-1070 (Business Hours), or (519) 435-6491 (After-Hours Emergencies Only).
Municipal Sewer Backup or Overflow
Property owners experiencing sewer back-ups must contact the Municipality immediately. This may be done by calling (519) 245-1070 (Business Hours), or (519) 435-6491 (After-Hours Emergencies Only).
- Municipal staff will determine if the problem originates with municipal infrastructure, or if the problem is in your pipe.
- If the mainline sewer is clear and flowing properly, the property owner is responsible for the initial maintenance of the Private Drain Connection to the Sewer Mainline Connection.
- If the property owner continues to have problem with the sewer line, or indicates that the problem is located in the Municipal Road Allowance, the property owner is required to install a clean-out at the property line. If the property owner requests municipal assistance, a video and map must be provided to the Municipality detailing the problem area for review.
- If the property owner experiences two sewer back-ups in a two-year period, and advised the Municipality of each occurance or provides appropriate proof (plumbing/rental invoices), the Municipality will initiate the video inspection provided the clean-out has been installed at the property line by the property owner.
- If the video determines that the back-up was caused by the discharge of materials not conforming with Part 4 of the Sewer Use Bylaw, the property owner would be responsible for the cost of the video inspection and remediation.
- If the property owner experiences two sewer back-ups in a two-year period, and the back-up was not caused by an unauthorized use of the sewer, a remediation plan will be determined by the Municipality to provide a long-term solution for the property.
