TOWN NOTICES SEPTIC RE-INSPECTION PROGRAM DID YOU KNOW THE TOWN OF GRAVENHURST HAS A SUMMER RE-INSPECTION PROGRAM OF EXISTING SEWAGE SYSTEMS?? Since 1998, responsibilities with respect to on-site sewage systems that service properties with a total daily design sewage flow rate of less than 10,000 litres were transferred from the Environmental Protection Act to the Building Code Act. Property inspections will be conducted over the summer months. Any system determined to be unsafe will be brought to the attention of the Town Building Officials to verify the unsafe condition and to make any necessary orders setting out the remedial steps required rendering the “system” safe. A notice will be left at the inspected properties indicating system inspection and any follow up if required. The initial inspection will be a visual surface inspection of the property. The property owner’s assistance or attendance may be required if components of the system cannot be identified. The cooperation of the property owners will ensure that this program can be completed in a prompt and efficient manner and help in providing continued enjoyment of a clean and healthy environment.
