The Municipality is asking all residents to reduce water use immediately.

Crews successfully completed the planned repairs at one of the Municipality's wastewater lift stations today. Unfortunately, during the work, additional issues were identified that require further investigation.

As a result, we are continuing to ask all residents and businesses to conserve water wherever possible. Every litre that stays out of the sanitary sewer system helps reduce pressure on the wastewater system while repairs continue.

Most importantly, if your sump pump is currently discharging into the sanitary sewer, please redirect it outside immediately. Groundwater from sump pumps adds an enormous amount of unnecessary flow to the wastewater system, making it significantly more difficult to keep the lift stations operating and delaying repairs.

To help residents, the Municipality has sump pump discharge hose available free of charge while supplies last. If you need hose or assistance redirecting your sump pump outside, please contact the Municipal Office at (204) 937-8333.

We know these requests have been ongoing, and we sincerely appreciate everyone who has already made changes to reduce water use. Your efforts are making a difference. We ask everyone to continue doing their part until the wastewater system has stabilized and repairs have been completed.

Additional updates will be provided as work progresses.

The Municipality of Roblin is asking residents to report any flood-related damage to private property resulting from the recent flooding event.

To report flood-related damage, submit an online form available at: www.roblin.ca/2026flood or by contacting the Municipal Office by telephone at (204) 937-8333.

Building & Development Permit Guidelines

What is the difference between Building Permits & Development Permits?

  • Development Permits are required for minor projects such as windows, siding, fences and minor interior renovations under a $5,000.00 value. They are also required for farm accessory buildings such as sheds and shops under 6400 square feet, as well as grain bins, grain dryers etc.
  • Building Permits are required for bigger projects such as houses, garages, decks, commercial buildings, residential projects and major interior renovations over $5,000.00 value.

 

Why is a Building or Development Permit Required?

These permits are documents which grant permission to begin construction of a building project.  They are required in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public by providing the means for the Municipality of Roblin to ensure the necessary officials review the project design and inspect the construction for minimum standards as required by the Manitoba Codes, as well as ensure the projects meet Zoning and Development By-Law requirements.  Failure to receive an approved Permit could result in the Owner's costs for By-Law infractions, non-code compliance, Engineer inspections, Orders of Remediation/Removal and Legal action by the Municipality.

 

What Information is Required when Applying for a Permit?
  • Land title information or proof of ownership.
  • Description of the project including proposed use and size to determine if it meets Zoning requirements or if a Conditional Use is required.
  • Site plan which indicates where on the property the structure is going including distances in feet to all property lines, to determine if a Variance is required.
  • Other Information that may be required, depending upon the project:
    • Survey certificate may need to be provided if the location of property lines are unsure or disputed,
    • Manitoba Engineer's Designed and Stamped Plans,
    • Electrical and Plumbing Drawings,
    • Deck and Step Plans,
    • Lot grading and Drainage Plans; and
    • General Contractor and Sub-Contractor list.

Check with the Planning Department to determine what the requirements are for your project.

 

NOTE The Municipality has a number of different Zones as per the Zoning By-Law so it's important to check your Zoning to ensure your development meets all Zoning Requirements in regards to allowable and conditional uses as well as setback requirements.
