Extension of sanitary sewer mains and services to properties still on septic systems.

The City has been upgrading its sanitary sewer systems to better serve residents, protect the environment, and service the needs of our growing city for almost 30 years. Support from senior government propels Council and community priorities enabling the City to provide critical public infrastructure to residents in many ways. This $12.3 M project will provide sanitary sewer infrastructure to over 500 properties in the Rialto and Rutland areas to benefit from a safe, reliable, and environmentally sustainable wastewater treatment and effluent disposal system.This project is funded in part by a $9M grant from the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) - Green Infrastructure Environmental Quality Program.

Please note: We understand there is homeowner costs associated with this opportunity; therefore, there is no deadline to connect to the sewer service and it is up to the property owner to decide when to do so. The connection fee is due prior to the City issuing a plumbing permit for the connection to the home. There is no current method to apply the connection fee to property taxes. Connection fees are likely to increase annually to adjust for inflation and construction market conditions. Overall, connection costs are lower than replacing an old or non-functioning septic system. The cost of installing the home-owners side of the service between home and property line will vary depending on property conditions, length and depth of service. The City does not provide a list of preferred civil contractors for this work but encourages residents to search out reputable civil contractors and request multiple quotes. Properties that will require a grinder pump will be notified separately.
