Understanding utility fees and rates
Each year, the Town will complete a water cost anaylsis. Based on these results and subject to Council and the Saskatchewan Municipal Board rates may be adjusted accordingly.
- Water consumption is billed per 1000 imperial gallons.
- Water and Sewer are expected to operate on a self sustaning basis.
