Water and Sewer Billing

April 1, 2023, Utility Bills were available electronically.  If you would like to sign up please complete the Paperless Billing Form.

Water and Sewer bills are sent out every other month.  The Township's bills include charges for water and wastewater services. The charge for each service includes a fixed charge and a metered charge.

  1. Fixed Charge - This cost does not change and appears the same on every bill. For example, in 2024, residents that have the standard 15 mm meter will have a fixed water charge of $68.33 and a fixed sewer charge of $126.46, therefore, giving a total fixed charge of $194.79.
  2. Metered Charge - This cost is a variable charge and is dependent upon individual consumption. For example, in 2024, residents will pay $1.91 per cubic meter for water and $2.61 per cubic meter for sewer.
    .

A 2024 Water & Wasterwater bill example, assuming a consumption of 0.5 cubic meters/day (30 cubic meters in 60 days), would be calculated as follows;

  • $78.30 -Sewer Variable charges (30 cubic meters x $2.61/cubic meter)
  • $126.46 - Sewer Fixed charges
  • $57.30 - Water Variable charges (30 cubic meters x $1.91/cubic meter)
  • $68.33 - Water Fixed charges
  • $330.39 Total Water & Wastewater bill (60 day period)

 If averaged for a 30 day period, this would equal a monthly billing of $165.20.

On November 15, 2021 Council approved the Water & Wastewater User Fees and Charges By-law No. 2021-67 with annual rate increases of 1.5% from 2022 to 2025.
