History
The Utility Notice underwent some changes in 2018. These changes were done for the following reasons:
- To provide separate and clear property tax and utility notices
- The fixed fees were established to ensure that funds for the City’s aging water and sewer capital infrastructure will be available when needed
- Ensure that the operating costs of the water and sewer systems are covered by the water consumption charge and sewer user fee
Council made the decision to have all charges for the water and sewer services appear in one place; on the utility invoice. Previously, water consumption and a small fixed fee appeared on the water invoice and a water parcel tax, a sewer parcel tax and a sewer user fee appeared on the property tax invoice.
Council received the Master Sewer Plan (2014) and the Water Master Plan (2017) which outline various required changes, upgrades and recommended improvements that need to be completed on our water and sewer systems.Council hosted two open houses in the spring of 2018 to review these changes with residents and business owners.
