Letter to Residents Re 2019 Mandatory Sewer Hook-up
Background
In order to give residents a heads up regarding their requirement for mandatory hook up of sewers by December 31st, 2019, a notice was placed in the 4 page handout included with all 2016 tax notices.
Over the past couple of months the City has received numerous inquiries about the mandatory hook-up requirements. This may be as a result of the notice. Staff are recommending that a more detailed letter be sent to all residents within the sewer area so that their questions can be answered which should reduce the number of inquiries received at City Hall.

Direct staff to draft a letter and forward to all residents in the sewer service area advising of mandatory hookup date for sewer is not later than December 31, 2019.
That a letter not be sent out at this time.
