Region introduces Reimbursement Program for sewer repairs

On July 1, 2022, Durham Region made changes to the Sewer User Rate By-law #90-2003 regarding the limit of responsibility for repairs on private property related to sanitary sewer service connections.

However, on September 28, 2022, Regional Council repealed the Sewer User Rate By-Law changes. Durham Region has established a Reimbursement Program for homeowners who completed sanitary sewer service connection repairs on private property (up to one metre from outside the house foundation) on or after July 1, 2022.

For more information, including diagrams that show the limits of responsibility for water and sewer service connections, please visit durham.ca/BasementFlooding or call Technical Support at 1-800-372-1102.

Full details, as well as terms and conditions, on the Reimbursement Program can be found online at durham.ca/SewerServiceRepairs.
