Wastewater performance affects habitability and common costs

Identify how sewage is collected, treated and discharged. Ask the juristic person for system design and capacity, permits, operator and service contracts, test results, maintenance logs, alarms, pump failures, desludging records, complaints and corrective work. Compare occupancy and commercial uses with the system's actual operating load.

Inspect odour, noise, access, overflow evidence and proximity to the unit and amenities. A qualified environmental or building-services specialist should assess compliance and remaining life. Read the condo financial-health guide, water-hygiene guide and buyer service.
