Storm Sewer Use Bylaw
It is necessary to regulate the discharge of materials to municipal and private storm sewer systems and to protect water quality by preventing the discharge of harmful substances to municipal and private storm sewer systems and, ultimately, to water bodies within the County.
Discharges that do not meet the requirements outlined in the Storm Sewer Use By-law could have serious consequences for public health and safety, municipal infrastructure, and the environment. Even if the discharge is very small in quantity, the total combined effect can be significant. Unauthorized discharges could result in:
- Threat to the health and safety of sewer workers
- Damage to municipal infrastructure
- Discharge of contaminants to the natural environment
