Recently our office has been receiving several inquiries regarding on-site wastewater management systems in the Red River Corridor Designated Area.  Please follow the link to Manitoba Conservation's website to view a map of the Red River Corridor Designated Area.  This Designated Area restricts On-Site Waste Water Management Systems.  The location of the fields is determined in part by Manitoba Conservation and in part by the respective Rural Municipality for future local sewer and/or water connection. Contact information for Manitoba Conservation can be found under "Other Important Contacts" then search under "Other Government Agencies" for Conservation Offices.

Generally, the Rural Municipality in which you are building will request that the holding tank be placed towards the front of the property (road side), so that any future financial burdens may be minimized.  Questions regarding this can be directed toward Lloyd Talbot, Manager of the Selkirk and District Planning Area Board. The only exception is in the Village of Dunnottar where the septic tank must be placed in the same yard as the majority of septic tanks in neighbouring properties (those properties on the same side of the road as your property).  Questions regarding this can be directed toward Janice Thevenot, CAO of the Village of Dunnottar by phoning 204-389-4962.
