Reconcile two groups over Manitoba septic rule changes
Province proposes on site wastewater rules banning sewage ejectors and setting a two acre lot size. Critics from western Manitoba push back, citing property loss and costly upgrades while rural areas question blanket policy given Saskatchewan and Alberta precedents. Environmental groups voice support for protecting waterways though some holding tanks are noted as viable in proper soil. Legislative comments from Struthers Derkach and Briese highlight regional disparities and timing.
