Vancouver planning note

Private work and municipal infrastructure meet at a boundary.

The City distinguishes its water infrastructure from the private service: the City owns the line to the curb stop, while the owner is responsible from the curb stop into the building. New or altered sewer and water connections have separate permit requirements.

Requirements can change with property type and scope. Confirm current municipal requirements before authorizing permit-dependent or connection work.

Recurring blockages, camera inspection, drain clearing, hydro jetting, sewer-line assessment, perimeter drainage, and sump-related service.

Underground repair and coordination

Buried water, sewer, and drainage failures requiring line location, defined excavation, safe access, repair, and restoration coordination.
