A homeowner sought our help with servicing his septic tank – which was located on the property of a neighbour who would not allow access. We helped him reach the right people at the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, who arranged to visit both properties and speak with both the homeowner and the neighbour. They mutually agreed to have the tank serviced, and the Ministry subsequently provided the homeowner with information about how to relocate the septic tank to his own property if he chose.
