Building over sewers

We do not endorse building over public sewers. Where there is no practical alternative, we will consider it with the following conditions:

  • Each case will be approved individually.
  • An easement will be registered on the property title to cover the route of the sewer.
  • Additional costs in respect of maintenance and renewal of the sewer due to the building being erected over it are to be met by the property owner.
  • The sewer must be constructed of PVC pipe laid in a straight line (including grade).
  • Manholes are to be placed on each side of and clear of the building, with no connections permitted between these two manholes.
  • The foundations of the building must be designed and constructed so that no load is placed on the sewer.
