Septic Guide & Information 

Septic System Guidelines in the Village of Spring Lake

The Village of Spring Lake has established specific septic system guidelines that all residents are required to follow to ensure the safe and responsible management of waste and water within the community. These guidelines are designed to protect public health and the environment, and compliance is essential for maintaining the quality of life in our village.

It is important to note that septic systems are not governed or managed directly by the Village of Spring Lake. The responsibility for the installation, maintenance, and inspection of septic systems rests with the property owner. However, the Village provides guidelines to ensure that all systems meet the necessary standards for waste disposal and environmental protection.

Septic System Restrictions

Certain areas of the Village may have additional septic restrictions based on local conditions such as soil type, groundwater levels, or proximity to water bodies. These restrictions are in place to prevent contamination of local water sources and to ensure that septic systems function properly.

To help residents understand where these restrictions apply, we have provided a map below, which clearly outlines areas with septic restrictions and those where they do not apply.

Important Notes:

• Septic System Installation and Maintenance: Property owners are responsible for ensuring their septic systems are installed and maintained in accordance with provincial and local regulations.
• Regulations and Inspections: While the Village does not oversee septic system installation, we encourage residents to consult with licensed professionals to ensure that their systems are compliant with all necessary standards. Please ensure that should you install, or update your septic system you apply and receive the necessary development permits.
• Environmental Considerations: Proper care and maintenance of septic systems help protect local water resources and maintain the environmental integrity of the Village.

For further information on septic system guidelines, or if you are unsure about any restrictions or requirements for your property, please contact the Village Administration. We are here to assist and provide guidance to ensure that all septic systems within the Village are functioning properly and in line with regulations.
