What is the Proper Process to Dewatering Construction Sites?
Dewatering construction sites onto the roadway is not allowed under the Sewer Use Bylaw. Wastewater with a high sediment load can affect the aquatic life in receiving streams. We recommend filtering the water using straw, gravel, filter cloth or other means before discharging into the storm sewer system. If additional information is needed, please contact the Pollution Control Department at 519-752-5263.
