Connection Procedure
To begin the process of connecting to the RM’s wastewater system, please follow the steps outlined below:
1. Contact an Approved Contractor
Individuals wishing to connect to the system must contact one of the RM’s approved contractors. These contractors are knowledgeable about the required procedures and are the only parties authorized to perform connections to the RM’s wastewater infrastructure. They can assess your specific installation needs and provide appropriate guidance.
2. Visit the RM Office
At least two weeks prior to your planned installation date, please visit the RM office to complete the following:
- Pay the City of Winnipeg Buy-in Fee
- Submit a Sewer Service Application
3. Water Meter Installation Request
Upon completion of the above steps, the RM will submit a request to Airwise to install a water meter. Airwise will contact the homeowner directly to schedule the installation.
4. System Connection and Inspection
Once the water meter is scheduled, your approved contractor may proceed with the system connection. An inspection will be required to ensure compliance with all wastewater system specifications. Please note:
- Inspections must be scheduled with at least 48 hours' notice.
- A $100.00 fee will apply for any re-inspection required due to a failed initial inspection.
5. Finalization
After a successful inspection:
- The curb stop will be turned on.
- A baseline water meter reading will be recorded. Subsequent readings will be taken quarterly.
