Research method

How official sources, city context and review dates are handled.

Source order

Regulatory claims are grounded in official federal, provincial or municipal sources. We prefer current law and government guidance over contractor marketing pages.

Local depth labels are honest

Onsite-wastewater authority varies by province and sometimes by municipality or health authority. A city page labels a general municipal website as general; it does not present that homepage as a dedicated septic permit source.

No manufactured local facts

City boundaries do not prove that a parcel uses septic. Local pages start with the sewer-versus-onsite question and keep provincial rules separate from property-specific records.

Review cycle

Current build reviewed 2026-09-14. Time-sensitive rules should be rechecked against the linked authority before use.
