WATERWORKS RATE POLICY At the Council meeting in February 23,2021 Council passed a bylaw to fix the rates to be charged for the use and consumption of water and to fix the rates to be charged for the use of the sewer. Bylaw 02-2021 A Bylaw To Fix The Rates To Be Charged For the Use And Consumption of Water and Set The Sewer Rates For The Village.

WATER SERVICE CHARGE

1. That the minimum charge for water be set at $207.39 per every three months, this charge will cover the usage of 7500 gallons and that for each 1,000 gallons used thereafter the additional charge for this usage be calculated at $21.51 per 1,000 gallons.

2.  That the charge for water obtained from the pipe stand be set at $22.14 per 1,000 gallons.

SEWER CHARGE

1. That the sewer rates for the properties in the Village of Tuxford be set at $50.00 for 3 months.

The objective of the Waterworks rate policy is that we are finding most of our Waterworks infrastructure is getting past its life expectancy. We are currently in the planning process to ensure  our Waterworks infrastructure is a priority within the Village.

WATERWORKS CAPITAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY The Village of Tuxford is in the process of composing a compiled  plan of viable options for upgrading the current system within Tuxford.

To cover the costs of future waterworks infrastructure maintenance and replacements, Council will likely need to continue to  use a combination of increasing water rates to build the waterworks reserves.
