The new regulations include requiring a two-acre minimum lot size for the installation of disposal fields, preventing septic fields in a number of sensitive areas, including Pelican Lake and Rock Lake, as well as Crown land cottage developments, provincial parks and a three-kilometre-wide corridor along the Red River between Winnipeg and Selkirk, banning existing sewage ejectors when a property is sold and forcing homeowners to hook up to municipal collection systems in serviced areas.
