Can I make repairs to my sewage system?

It is recommended that a property owner or sewage contractor contact the Health Unit prior to commencing any repair work in order that the necessary approvals can be obtained.

When repairing a sewage system, the worker in a lot of cases will be in contact with raw sewage and may become exposed to harmful bacteria and microorganisms.  Utmost care should be taken to protect one's health and also the health of surrounding property owners. Care must also be taken to protect the natural environment from needless contamination.
