Once the project is complete and the full warranty period has passed, the Town's Finance Department will send a report and by-law to Council which will include financing options. Please note that Council needs to approve any financing options before they can be offered. The homeowner can pay off the outstanding balance in full at any time to avoid future interest payments. If the property transfers ownership, the full loan is due with that transfer from the current homeowner.

Property owners will be notified in writing when they are able to connect to the new sewer. Prior to connecting, owners are required to obtain a Site Servicing Permit from the Town’s Building Department. This permit allows for the sewer connection and the septic decommissioning. Once the owner has obtained this permit, they may contact a contractor to complete your connection. The Town does not maintain or provide a list of qualified contractors for this type of work. Prior to connection, the contractor must contact Ontario 1 Call to obtain locates for the property. Ontario 1 Call can be contacted at 1-800-400-2255 or on the web at https://www.ontarioonecall.ca/
