This regulation governs the construction, operation, and maintenance of private sewage systems in Saskatchewan, particularly within shoreland development areas. It defines key terms such as private sewage works, septic tanks, privy vaults, and recreational areas. The regulation applies to new developments, modifications to existing structures, and any situation where pollution or nuisance is occurring due to inadequate sewage management. It sets out requirements for the disposal of solid waste and sewage, mandating that sewage from buildings not connected to public systems must be treated through approved private systems. These systems must be designed to handle all domestic wastewater, excluding stormwater, and must not discharge into surface or groundwater without approval. Minimum distances from wells, water supplies, and buildings are specified to protect public health and the environment. The regulation also addresses the construction standards for tanks and vaults, requiring watertight materials and accessibility for maintenance. It mandates the provision of toilet facilities and waste receptacles in recreational and public areas, and outlines acceptable types of outside toilets and their placement. Enforcement provisions include inspection rights for authorities and penalties for non-compliance, with fines escalating for continued violations.
