It is the responsibility of the Property Owner to obtain approval from the Region of Niagara Engineering department for installation of an outdoor swimming pool on any property which is not serviced by a Municipal Sanitary sewer. This is to ensure that the installation of the outdoor swimming pool will not interfere with the operation of the existing sanitary septic system.
