Water Meters: Purchasing of a Remote Water Read System must be completed at the Town Office. Fees for Remote Water
read systems are subject to change due to fluctuations in market prices. Information regarding meter prices is available at
the Town Administration Office.
*Minimum Utility Charge: This charge is for properties receiving municipal water service where remote meter reading is not
possible due to an obsolete meter or a missing meter. The minimum charge for single detached, semi-detached and
townhouse dwelling units is based on the upper quartile consumption for these unit types. The minimum charge for multi-
dwelling units, commercial and industrial properties is based on the most recent consumption data for that property when
meter reads were possible. In accordance with the Town's Water and Wastewater Bylaw, each water service connection shall
be measured by a meter. Properties without a water meter may be in contravention of the Water and Wastewater Bylaw and
incur penalties in accordance with the bylaw.
**Utility Service Connection Fees: Applied to all new connections to the Town water and wastewater system where the
owner or any prior owner has not already paid a corresponding fee for connection, nor paid any corresponding developer
charges, levies or costs.
