##### **Mandatory Septic Inspections**
In January 2011, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing revised the Ontario Building Code (OBC), creating "mandatory maintenance inspections" for all septic systems in Ontario identified as a "significant threat" to drinking water sources. If this pertains to your property you may have received a letter this year explaining that your septic was to be inspected. Should you have questions or would like more information please call North Bay Mattawa Conservation Authority.
