Image of the Sewer Use Bylaw Waste Survey Document
  

The Region of York maintains a Sewer Use By-Law (No.S-0064-2005-009) that sets limits on the strength and composition of sewage entering the municipal system. The Sewer Use By-Law was passed and enacted by York Regional Council in January 2005. To download a copy of the Sewer Use By-Law click here.

Dischargers are required to complete and submit a Waste Survey Report within 30 days of written notification by the Region.

Regional By-Law Enforcement Officers randomly sample industries to check compliance. Individuals found to be discharging illegally can, on conviction, be fined from $10,000 up to $25,000. Corporations can be fined up to $100,000.
