Late Resolution for Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM): Modernization of Wastewater Regulations

• Motion

  THAT: the Committee of the Whole recommend that the Board of Directors accept the late UBCM resolution "Modernization of Wastewater Regulations" as presented:

  Modernization of Wastewater Regulations

  WHEREAS the oversight of wastewater management in British Columbia is divided between two provincial ministries, resulting in split jurisdiction over two key regulations — the Municipal Wastewater Regulation (MWR) (2001) and the Sewerage System Regulation (SSR) (2005);

  AND WHEREAS these regulations have not undergone significant updates since their enactment, despite evolving environmental standards, increasing concerns regarding the professional oversight of these systems, emerging technologies, and increasing community and ecological demands;

  AND WHEREAS the Province has established priorities to support housing development, infrastructure expansion, improved cumulative effects assessment in natural resource decision-making, and stronger integration of source water and drinking water protection;

  THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that UBCM requests the Province of British Columbia to undertake a comprehensive review and modernization of the Municipal Wastewater Regulation and Sewerage System Regulation to ensure alignment with current environmental pressures, technological advancements, and land use planning needs.
