All E-transfers MUST INCLUDE the following payment details in the Message section with every email money transfer forwarded to the City of Burlington:

PLEASE BE ADVISED: E-transfers must be sent from a bank that recognizes auto-deposit, as the City cannot receive funds if a password is required.
Storm Sewer Discharge Permits
The City of Burlington’s Storm Sewer Discharge Bylaw regulates all discharge into the municipal drainage system. Before starting any dewatering works to the municipal drainage system, a landowner and contractor may need to get a permit for temporary construction dewatering and/or for permanent groundwater dewatering.
Application process
The storm sewer discharge permit application and supporting information (refer to application form) should be submitted to Development Engineering for assessment.
Fee and security payments
Before a permit can be issued, any required fee and security must be paid. E-transfers and EFT/Wire Payments are the only accepted methods of payment for Storm Sewer Discharge Permits. In-person payments will NOT be accepted at City Hall.
