Cycle 2 of the Huron-Kinloss Community Septic Inspection Program: Now Underway!

The Township is working with B.M. Ross and Associates Limited (BMROSS) to inspect all the septic systems in Huron-Kinloss. Cycle 1 of the program was completed in 2014. Cycle 2 of this mandatory inspection program started in 2015.


Cycle 2 of the program requires all systems in Huron-Kinloss inspected in 
2007 and some of 2008 (under Cycle 1) to be inspected in 2015. 

Property owners in Huron-Kinloss are responsible for booking an inspection appointment. To do so, please follow the steps below:
  •  Call the Township Office (519) 395-3735 to schedule an appointment.
  • Appointments will be scheduled this year:  May 1 – October 31, Monday –Thursday, 9:00 am – 3:00 pm.  Evening and Saturday appointments may be arranged.
  • Septic tanks must be pumped-out prior to the inspection which is the property owner’s responsibility to arrange.
    •  to ensure a good visual of the inside of the tank a pump-out must have occurred within the past 12 months
    • the lid to the septic tank must be cleared and accessible before the inspector arrives
    • if the tank has two chambers both lids must be cleared and pumped for the inspection
    • often the pump-out and inspection can be done on the same day
  • Property owners are encouraged to be present for their inspection.
  • The inspection takes approximately 30-45 minutes.
