<div>Some towns in urban an peri-urban, like Hudson Quebec, has two or three types of sewage systems ; in the town village and new developments, connected septic systems and sewage to public pipes and canalisation, in the older areas, no public </div>

changed a while ago as the town of Hudson is part of a considerable residential development in a wet land an beach area. <br>

<div>Hi Lindsay, my first thoughts are; don’t let council change the current restrictions. Based on “ give a them an inch, and they will take a mile “ You can’t trust the builder / developer / maintenance companies to follow the most bylaws anyway, don’t give
them a way of bending the rules further, as the will.

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m interested in your thoughts on a matter we are dealing with here at the City of Kitchener. Our legal department is recommending we amend our City Tree By-law to create an exception which would allow people to cut roots of municipal
trees, for the purpose of unblocking sewer laterals. We have fairly standard language that states
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">no person is permitted to prune or remove any part of a City tree, and legal is arguing that people who clear roots from sewers are technically in violation of the by-law.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone encountered this argument and how was it resolved?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks for your input! <o:p></o:p></p>
