Can I install my own sewage system?

A property owner can install their own sewage system, however, it is not recommended in most cases. Very seldom does a property owner have all the necessary equipment to install the sewage system properly. A basic understanding of soils, the groundwater table, drainage and construction principles are crucial to be able to install a sewage system which will meet conditions on a sewage system permit and will meet the requirements of the Ontario Building Code.

Someone other than the actual property owner cannot install the sewage system unless they have the appropriate license issued by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing
