Water & Septic​ Information

The Rural Municipality of North Shore has a very engaged Water and Environment Committee that has provided Residents with this great information regarding water, in all forms, in your Community.
2021 Septic Survey for Stanhope Peninsula and Eagle's Path Lane
Throughout the summer of 2021 RMNS hired a student to go door to door to administer a survey to gather information on septic knowledge and maintenance in areas with typically smaller sized lots. The data was compiled and presented to the Water and Environment Committee and to Council. Results are below.
