Septic systems around Mount Elgin
Mount Elgin, on Highway 19 between Ingersoll and Tillsonburg, has many farmhouses and rural homes on private septic and wells. Older farmhouse systems sometimes predate modern permits and have no records at all.
If you've bought one of those, a septic inspection and locating the tank are a sensible first step.
Septic permits near Mount Elgin
New and replacement septic systems need a permit under Part 8 of the Ontario Building Code. Start with the building department at the Township of South-West Oxford, which will confirm who reviews septic permits for your property. Routine pumping doesn't need a permit, and neither do most small repairs like a pump or filter. Licensed installers usually handle the design and application for you.
