Sewer Inspections

The City of St. Catharines' plumbing inspectors examine new sanitary and stormwater sewers on private property to ensure compliance with plumbing regulations set in the Ontario Building Code. We also inspect all new sewer services that are installed on public roads or within City easements.

How do I connect to the City sewer system?

If you're ready to connect your private service to the City's sewer system, please contact our Planning and Building Services Department at 905.688.5601 ext. 1660 to schedule your inspection.
