Taxes: The Socialist Sickness




Up to $10,000 Fine for not having septic pumped. Time to say NO!!!

The government is amending the Building Code and if you have a septic and you don't have the proof that is was pumped, within the last 5 years, you can be fined $10,000 a day (see section 36 Building Code). If you are a corporation it's $100,000 minimum. Just another way to tax us off of our land, do you think??? Write or email the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MPP Mauro) and just say NO!

And they don't care if it's going to cost people more – even if it isn't needed. Also, if a person's septic isn't working right, isn't it their property which is going to suffer?!?

What the "proponent says" (whoever the proponents are???):

"Cost/Benefit Implications 
The change will add cost to homeowners who have not been regularly pumping out their septic tank. However, the cost will only occur every 5 years."

"RATIONALE FOR CHANGE 
Problem/General Background 
The proponent requested the change to strengthen the maintenance requirements of septic systems through regular pump outs and to require record keeping thereof to help ensure compliance with the code requirements."

This amendment is under the regulation 332/12 and the change is being brought in is under # Change B-08-09-03. It says:

"DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT 
The proposed change requires regular pumping out of septic tanks and keeping of the septic tanks and treatment units’ maintenance records."

"EXISTING 2012 BUILDING CODE PROVISION(S) 
8.9.3. Maintenance 
8.9.3.4. Class 4 Sewage Systems 
(1) Septic tanks and other treatment units shall be cleaned whenever sludge and scum occupy one-third of the working capacity of the tank."

"PROPOSED CODE CHANGE
Maintenance 
8.9.3.4. Class 4 Sewage Systems 
(1) Septic tanks and other treatment units shall be cleaned whenever sludge and scum occupy one-third of the working capacity of the tank or every within five years of the last pump out, whichever occurs first. . 
(2) The records of septic tanks and treatment units cleaning as required by Sentences (1) shall be kept by the operator of the sewage system for submission to the chief building official upon request."

Just another way to tax us off of our land, do you think??? Building Inspectors will come and demand documentation that you have had your septic pumped. If you do not have the proper papers they will fine you! Job security, cash and control is all it is - not saving the environment and most certainly not something we need. Write or email the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MPP Mauro) and just say NO! Also where are the Opposition Parties - why aren't they telling us this????

  1. Unbelievable. This is insane and needs to be stopped. A Septic Tank gets pumped when it needs to be pumped, it has varying factors to how much its used, the type of system the geography and land. My old place would go 10 years before needing to be pumped and it always worked great not one problem with it ever. This is unnecessary and just costs the home owner more money to have nothing beneficial done. Septic have been in use forever, without issue, so why now are they creating a problem where there isn't one. Pump your tank when its full, its that simple.

  3. Agenda 2030 ... the aim is gradually force everyone to move to dense urban areas where people can be controlled much more easily and the land can be re-wilded
