Septic System Upgrade at Elmira Golf Club
Official title: Elmira Golf Club - Environmental Compliance Approval (sewage)
Elmira Golf Club wants to replace aging septic tanks and a grease interceptor that serve both the golf club and curling club. The current tanks, installed in 1997, are deteriorating. No expansion is planned—just swapping old equipment for new, larger-capacity tanks.
Why This Matters
Live near 40 Eldale Road in Woolwich? This affects wastewater treatment in your area. Properly functioning septic systems protect local groundwater. If you use a private well nearby, you might want to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, the golf club can install a new 6,000-litre grease interceptor and 30,000-litre septic tank. The existing pump tank and raised bed stay in place. No increase in wastewater capacity is proposed.
Key Issues
- Should the ministry approve replacing the deteriorating septic tanks and grease interceptor?
- Are the proposed tank sizes appropriate for the facility's needs?
