Update on the Public Sewer By-law Process
In June 2019, council asked staff to streamline all existing Sewer By-laws into a common document. Over the summer of 2019 staff worked to compare and compile the 6 existing by-laws into one. Care was taken to look at the best practices of neighbouring and similar municipalities, and to consider the most common approach in the existing documents.
Sewer By-law Changes
Changes are being made to the sewer by-law in the Municipality of Cumberland. These changes are to create an even and fair approach to billing and administration of sewer services throughout the county.
Four public meetings will be held to present the proposed changes to the public prior to council giving the by-law first reading.
