News Releases

The City of Saskatoon has introduced a new Homeowner Plumbing Permit to support residents completing plumbing work in their own single‑family homes.

The permit applies to homeowners planning to construct, extend, alter, renovate, remove or repair plumbing systems within a single‑family dwelling unit. All work must meet the National Plumbing Code of Canada and Saskatchewan Plumbing Regulations.

Eligibility for a Homeowner Plumbing Permit

You may apply for a Homeowner Plumbing Permit if:

• You own the single-family dwelling unit. You must be the legal owner.
• You live in the dwelling. The unit is intended to be used exclusively for living quarters and will be occupied by the owner.
• You are doing the work yourself. You cannot pull a homeowner permit for someone else (an individual or company).
• The property is not intended for sale or rent.

Homeowners can apply through the City’s ePermitting platform, which makes it easy to submit applications, book inspections and pay fees online at any time.

To learn more about the new Homeowner Plumbing Permit, visit saskatoon.ca/homeownerplumbingpermit.

Saskatoon Light & Power will remove seasonal decorations on some city streets and bridges starting January 19. Work will impact traffic in the following areas:

• University Bridge – Monday, January 19, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
• 2nd Avenue – Sunday, January 25, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

This will be a moving work zone and will impact traffic in both directions. Drivers are reminded to slow down in work zones and be respectful of workers.

The Decorative Lighting Program provides lit and unlit seasonal decorations on street light poles in many of Saskatoon’s major commercial areas over the winter season. The decorations provide a welcoming ambience, supporting the Winter City Strategy by providing more lighting to make the darker winter season more inviting and beautiful.

While some are removed in January, the remainder of the decorations are turned off and removed after the spring equinox.
