Some homes may instead use an individual well or a septic system. Connections to municipal water and sewer services should therefore be verified for each property.
What should buyers verify before purchasing near the river or in a mountain area of Val-David?
Buyers should verify whether the property includes a flood-prone area, wetland, shoreline protection zone or steep slope. Winter access, lot drainage, servitudes, the septic system and the type of water supply may also affect how the property can be used. Applicable rules and site constraints should be confirmed for the specific lot and address before making a decision.

Val-David is served by L’Inter des Laurentides, which provides bus and taxibus services. Stops include the intersections of Route 117 with Rue de l’Ermitage and Rue de l’Église.
