Health Units will be responsible for small water works
The Ministry has begun the process of giving provincial health units the responsibility for overseeing and inspecting small non-municipal,
non-residential drinking water systems. It is anticipated that the
process and the new regulations will be in place by the end of 2006.
Please contact the Health Unit if you have any questions about this
process or the types of water systems if affects.
Changes to the Building Code Act
Significant changes have been made to the application and approval
process for construction of new buildings. Changes include increasing
the number of required inspections, as well as introducing a new way to
collect and record information. The
new application forms for septic
system approvals can be accessed via our web site.
