Rates & Paying your Bill

Water & Sewer Rates

It is essential to recognize that the increase in water and sewer rates is a crucial measure to ensure that the municipality can continue to offer reliable, high-quality water and sewer services to both residents and businesses. These rate adjustments will enable us to invest in vital infrastructure improvements, fulfill regulatory requirements, and support the long-term sustainability of our water and sewer systems.

Following the Council's approval of the proposed 2025 rate adjustments during the third and final reading on March 11th, these changes will take effect for the billing cycle commencing on June 1, 2025. We are committed to taking the necessary steps to maintain and enhance our community's essential services.

For residential property billing, a flat rate tier will be billed on June 1st and will account for that calendar year. Tier placements have been determined based on historical usage data from 2023. Going forward, all new property owners or new residential dwellings will automatically be placed in the average Tier #2.
