When liquid domestic (septic) waste is not disposed of properly, it can cause damage to the environment and pose health and safety issues for residents. All Saskatchewan sewage haulers must hold a Ministry of Environment permit and use appropriate disposal methods.
Septic waste must be disposed of in an approved sewage system such as a municipal lagoon. If a lagoon is not available, an alternative method of land spreading and timely tilling (within four days) on agricultural fields, with written permission from the landowner is currently permitted. Septic waste should not be spread within 100 metres of a watercourse, slough, surface water, water well, highway or road, and should not be allowed to pool or run off into these areas. Septic waste disposal should not take place within one kilometre of communities, occupied dwellings, resort/recreational areas and public places. Dumping of septic waste in landfills is not permitted.
If residents are aware that septic waste is not being disposed of properly, or if they observe illegal dumping, the offense can be reported by calling the ministry's toll-free TIP line at 1-800-667-7561 or #5555 on your SaskTel cell phone.
For more information about the hauling and proper disposal of septic waste, please visit www.environment.gov.sk.ca or call 1-800-567-4224 or email centre.inquiry@gov.sk.ca.
