# CalgarySewer.ca

> A clear sewer plan before the Calgary infill or renovation begins: existing records, changed use, service boundaries and inspection evidence. CalgarySewer.ca is part of the HAUSE Sewer network — an independent Canadian information and service-request network (not a contractor). Contact: sewers@hause.ca, 403-679-3100.

CalgarySewer.ca is an independent guide to planning sanitary connections when a Calgary property changes. It helps owners and builders organize existing-service evidence, approval questions, private-locate information and contractor scopes. It does not design or install plumbing, issue permits or determine whether an existing pipe can support a proposed building.

## Guides

### Approvals
- [Which permit and inspection questions does your connection raise?](https://calgarysewer.ca/guides/calgary-connection-permits-and-inspections/): Prepare Calgary connection permit questions by building type, project scope and work location, with clear responsibility for applications and inspections.
- [Keep the grade slip, lot plan and service brief together](https://calgarysewer.ca/guides/grade-slip-and-subdivided-lot-services/): Coordinate Calgary grade-slip and subdivision records with the proposed sewer connection, lot boundaries, design versions and contractor questions.

### Closeout
- [Make the installation record while the connection is visible](https://calgarysewer.ca/guides/pre-backfill-sewer-connection-records/): Plan pre-backfill sewer connection photographs, applicable inspection handoffs, plan revisions and owner closeout records for a Calgary project.

### Project scope
- [Classify the connection project before asking for prices](https://calgarysewer.ca/guides/classify-your-calgary-sewer-connection-project/): Separate a Calgary sewer repair, renovation, new connection and subdivision before collecting records, choosing permit questions and requesting a scope.
- [Keep demolition service disconnection records separate](https://calgarysewer.ca/guides/demolition-service-disconnection-handoff/): Prepare Calgary demolition service questions without confusing a water-valve shutoff, permanent water disconnection and the sanitary connection record.
- [Describe the drainage change before assuming a new sewer](https://calgarysewer.ca/guides/renovation-and-secondary-suite-drainage-brief/): Prepare a Calgary basement renovation or secondary-suite drainage brief covering proposed fixtures, retained drains, plumbing permits and access.

- [What evidence is needed before reusing an existing lateral?](https://calgarysewer.ca/guides/existing-lateral-records-before-reuse/): Build an evidence file for a retained Calgary sewer lateral: camera coverage, route, connection information, repairs and unresolved redevelopment questions.

### Scope requests
- [Give bidders the same connection scope and evidence](https://calgarysewer.ca/guides/contractor-sewer-connection-brief/): Write a Calgary sewer connection request with project purpose, work boundaries, dated records, unresolved assumptions and clear contractor deliverables.
