Does your home or business experience frequent or recurring sewer blockages? The Town of Shaunavon is accepting applications from those with eligible properties for the 2022 Lateral Sewer Line Replacement Policy.

The “Lateral Sewer Line Replacement Policy” encourages the replacement of private property lateral sewer lines within the Town of Shaunavon. The Town of Shaunavon devised this policy to assist eligible property owners with upgrading their private property portion of lateral sewer lines.

This incentive is in the form of a 50/50 cost share that would cover up to $6,700 of work, with the Town covering costs up to $3,350 and providing an interest free loan for the property owners 50% (up to $3,350 before federal and provincial taxes) for up to three years. Payment in full upon completion is also accepted.

*** Property owners who are eligible for the program will be those with lateral sewer lines attached to the main sewer lines that have been replaced in previous years. Such owners have been sent a letter from the Town indicating their eligibility.

Approved work will be completed by an Approved Contractor appointed by the Town of Shaunavon and will be scheduled once FIVE applications have been received and approved. No work will commence until FIVE applications have been approved.

Applications will be valid for ONE (1) calendar year. If LESS than five applications are received within a ONE-year period, no work will be completed and applicants must reapply the following year. If more than five applications are received, they will be approved on a first come first served basis, and remaining applicants will have to reapply the following year.

The purpose of this policy is to promote infrastructure renewal in the Town of Shaunavon, with the goal of assisting the Town’s residents. An application and replacement agreement need to be made to the Town of Shaunavon to be approved.
