Water Rates
Water Utility User Fee Rate Restructure coming in 2022
City Council approved changes to the Water Utility user fee rate structure at the June 28, 2021 Regular Council meeting (Click here to read the Corporate Report). The new rate structure will be phased in over the next four years and will align water consumption to water utility costs, and will promote water conservation.
The new rate structure will be received in the first quarter Water Utility bill in April 2022. Once phasing is complete in year four, the City will charge a smaller fixed fee related to the size of the meter and all water consumed will be charged at the same rate.
This fall, City staff will prepare a bylaw for Council approval for phase one of the transition. The City will share more information as it becomes available.
