FOCA Friday # 5 by Eleanor Young

As we all know,  S%#! happens and one of the most important ways we can protect our lake water quality and environment is by using properly functioning septic systems. FOCA offers a wealth of information on keeping yours in top running order (https://foca.on.ca/septic-systems/), including the excellent video below.

In our own Township of Lake of Bays, septic systems are regulated by the building by-law 2021-125 and any changes require permits and inspections (https://www.lakeofbays.on.ca/en/invest-and-build/building-and-renovating.aspx). As of January 3, 2023, all permit applications must be made online through the Cloudpermit E-Permitting system.
