Current Rates
A new rate model was implemented in 2018 that:
- Results in no increase to the variable water rate (usage) annually
- Allocates an annual increase to the base charge (fixed)
- Includes a seasonal rate that decreases over high season from June to August for variable wastewater (usage)
Current utility billing rates can by found in our Fees & Charges By-Law. Fees are reviewed annually as part of the budget process and are subject to change.
