Septic Tank Usage
Ongoing Care & Maintenance:
Pure water is important to the quality of life we enjoy in Canada. How we manage wastewater once we've used it is crucial to the health of our families and our communities.
In rural areas, individual sewage disposal (or septic) systems use natural treatment and filtration to clean wastewater before it is dispersed underground.
When septic systems work properly, they are efficient, inexpensive to maintain and environmentally friendly; when they fail, they cause odours, water pollution and major expense.
By properly maintaining sewage dispersal systems, homeowners play a significant role in protecting our health and natural resources.
