The term "sewer lateral" refers to the length of pipe that runs from your building or home to the main municipal sanitary sewer line. The maintenance and repair of the entire sewer lateral is your responsibility.

If your sewer lateral is backed up please contact Environmental Services to evaluate the situation and determine how we can assist you or determine if you need to contact a plumber.

Storm sewers collect rain and run-off from melting snow on your property to help prevent flooding and redirect this wastewater to nearby storm water management ponds, creeks and lakes.

To assist the Municipality in ensuring storm sewers do not get blocked do not deposit debris or rake leaves onto the roadway. 

If you are moving you need to request a final water reading for the last day of possession. This ensures that the account is transferred to the new occupants and they are billed for the water they use.

The final bill, from your last regular reading date to the final reading date will be mailed to you at your new location.
