Septic Maintenance Inspection Program

Septic Maintenance Inspection Program

Due to the amendments that have been made to the Ontario Building Code along with the implementation of the Clean Water Act 2006 and the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan, a mandatory Septic Re-Inspection program has been implemented here in the Township of King. 

 

Septic

 

Effective January 1, 2016, the Ontario Building Code requires all septic systems located along a strip of land within 100 Meters of rivers, streams, lakes, or ponds in the Lake Simcoe watershed that continuously flow into the lake on an average year, be inspected through the Mandatory Inspection Program. An Inspection of all septic systems located wholly or partly within the mandatory maintenance area is required every 5 years.
