Sewage & Land Control

As of October 1, 2022, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit no longer provides Land Control services on behalf of 19 municipalities in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark. This change is based on a decision by our Board of Health in February 2022 and will allow Health Unit staff to focus resources on its primary public health mandate, outlined by Ontario Public Health Standards.

The following is a list of municipalities that provide in-house services and be the principal authority for inspection services and permit issuance for septic systems less than 10,000 litres per day. Regions that will be providing an in-house “one stop shop” service:

The townships of Mississippi Mills, Beckwith, Lanark Highlands, Town of Carleton Place and Tay Valley Township have designated Mississippi-Rideau Septic System Office as their principal authority for inspection services under PART VIII of the Ontario Building Code. The Town of Smiths Falls and Municipality of North Grenville will be serviced by Rideau Valley Conservation Authority Septic System Office. Septic approval information and forms for these Conservation Authority Septic System Offices can be found here.

Edwardsburgh-Cardinal, Augusta, and Front of Yonge have designated South Nation Conservation Authority as their principal authority for inspection services under PART VIII of the Ontario Building Code.

Rideau Lakes Township will provide shared services for the Township of Athens.
