Sewer and Drainage

The District has conducted a waste water management plan to ascertain the treatment facilities required for the next 30-50 years. Construction was completed in 2004 on a $2.5 million dollar sewage treatment plant upgrade to meet the next 25 years demand.

Within the District rural acreage, outlying industrial and agricultural lands exist. For onsite wastewater treatment specifications, please visit the Ministry of Health, Northern Health Region website for complete information on specifications, inspections, new construction and repair/alteration of onsite sewage system requirements. Effective May 31, 2005, the new Sewerage System Regulation becomes law and stipulates that only Authorized Persons may construct or maintain sewerage systems. For information from the Environmental Health Officer in the Vanderhoof area, call at 250-567-6153. The office is located at 3299 Hospital Road.

Sanitary sewage services are available throughout the District within the village limits, with private sewerage systems on acreages.
