Resumen

For the purposes of this Regulation, “sewer system” means any works used to collect, store, transport or process domestic wastewater before being discharged into the environment or into another sewer system. Any works situated within the limit of the property of a person served is however excluded; (système d’égout) “waterworks system” means a distribution system within the meaning of section 1 of the Regulation respecting the quality of drinking water (chapter Q-2, r. 40). A distribution system intended only for fire protection is also considered to be a waterworks system. (système d’aqueduc). The provisions of this Regulation regulate the services provided to the persons served by a waterworks or sewer system that is the responsibility of a person or a group of persons. The same applies for the services provided to the persons served by a waterworks or sewer system that is under the responsibility of a municipality but, in that case, only to the extent where the property served is situated outside the limits of the territory of that municipality. The person in charge of a waterworks or sewer system must provide the persons served with a continuous service and maintain the system in good working order. Where a temporary interruption of service is necessary for repair, maintenance or improvement purposes of a waterworks or sewer system, the person in charge must send a notice of interruption to the persons served at least 10 days before interrupting the service. If an interruption of service must be made urgently due to unforeseeable circumstances, the person in charge may proceed immediately with the interruption by informing the persons served by any appropriate means. As soon as the person in charge is aware that the duration of the interruption of service will extend to the following day, the person must send a notice of interruption of service to the persons served. The person in charge must, in the notice of interruption, specify the nature of the work, the estimated time for the interruption of service and the measures that will be set up to ensure the sanitation of the premises. Where the interruption of service extends beyond the first day, the notice must specify the measures that will be implemented to ensure access to alternate services during the work. The person in charge must again notify the persons served as soon as the person in charge is aware that the duration of the interruption of service will be longer than the time estimated in the notice of interruption. The measures set up to ensure the sanitation of the premises and, as the case may be, access to alternate services must be maintained until the end of the work. Despite the first to the fourth paragraphs, where the interruption of service concerns a sewer system intended only for fire protection, the person in charge must inform, by any appropriate means, the persons served of the interruption and specify the estimated duration of the work. The person in charge may collect a tax, a fee or a charge from the persons served by his or her waterworks or sewer system.
