Municipal and Property Taxes
Water and sewer rates
In 2024, the annual cost per home is $948. For clients with water meters, the rate is $3.95 per cubic metre. There are several ways to pay your bill.
Why must I pay these fees?
Money collected for these services provides residents with:
- quality drinking water
- wastewater collection and treatment
- maintenance of the water distribution system
- maintenance of the sewer system
If you divide the total amount by the number of days in a year, water and sewer service costs $2.60/day per residence, a very affordable rate for a quality service.
