Septic tank and sewer system

The municipality is equipped with a sewer system since 2005, which water treatment facility is annexed to the Town Hall.

To keep our facilities in good condition, and thus reduce reparation costs, we ask you to refrain from disposing of the following items in your sanitary facilities:

• Hazardous household waste (paint, solvent, Javel water, etc.);
• Items that do not decompose (oils, diapers, tampons, paper towels, tissues, plastic, cigarette butts, etc.).

Regulation on sceptic pumping

Following the Regulation respecting waste water disposal systems for isolated dwellings (Q-2, r.8), a municipal by-law was adopted in 2007 to allow the verification of the frequency of sceptic pumping. The provincial regulatory standards are:

• Every two (2) years for permanent residences;
• Every four (4) years for seasonal residences.

Each owner must now send a proof of sceptic pumping according to the municipal by-law standards. The proof must be sent to the offices of City Hall.

Fines are included in the municipal by-law in case of failing to comply with this obligation by a physical person.
