If you are one of the remaining 15% - your septic system needs to be inspected

Letters have now been sent to every Township of Huron-Kinloss property owner who relies on a septic system to dispose of human sewage advising them of this mandatory inspection program.

• Septic systems include conventional systems, tertiary treatment systems, pit privies(outhouses), and pail privies.

• This is the 7^th year of an 8-year program delivered by B. M. Ross and Associates Limited, Goderich on behalf of the Township.

• To date approximately 85% of the approximately 2,900 septic systems in the Township have now been inspected.

• The last day to book an appointment in 2013 is October 31^st.

• If you have yet to book an inspection appointment please phone the Township at 519-395-3735 as we need to verify if your system is working properly.

• The majority of septic systems do not need to be replaced; most systems just require a pump-out and sometimes minor repairs such as replacing broken or missing baffles which can lead to a better operating septic system.
