Utility Rates

# Utility Rates
Annual Flat Utility Bills are due February 27, 2026
Learn everything you need to know about utility rates, ways to pay, and how we compare to other regional municipalities in the 2026 Utilities Info Sheet.
##
The City of North Vancouver supplies high-quality drinking water to its residents through a complex water infrastructure system. The City's sanitary sewer system removes sewage and delivers it to Metro Vancouver for treatment.
The costs for providing water and sewer services are reflected in your annual utility bill. The rates are based on three key factors:
* Costs paid to Metro Vancouver for the purchase of drinking water and wastewater treatment
* City water and sewer system operations and maintenance costs
* Long-term investment in asset management and resilience
More than 60% of the total 2026 utility fees are paid to Metro Vancouver to provide high-quality drinking water and wastewater treatment. The City uses remaining fees for annual operations to maintain the system and long-term investment in the utility infrastructure.
Residents have experienced an increase in their utility bill in recent years as a result of major cost overruns in the North Shore Waste Water Treatment Plant (NSWWTP) project led by Metro Vancouver.
### Asset Management for a Healthy & Resilient City
Public infrastructure is the foundation of a healthy and resilient community, requiring long-term planning and investment. Asset management ensures we are maintaining and replacing aging infrastructure while also investing in new systems to meet our community's current and future needs. The City is investing in essential utility infrastructure, including maintaining and replacing aging water and sewer mains.

The service is also available to view your property tax account balance and payment history.

**Strata Corporations:** To change your mailing address please complete this form. The completed form should be emailed to [email protected] ,
### FAQ's
**1. What if I can't pay my utility bill by the due date?**
If payment for your Annual Flat Utility bill is not received by the due date, a 5% penalty will apply to any unpaid balance after February 27, 2026. An additional 5% penalty will apply to any unpaid balance after April 30, 2026. For Metered Utility bills, a 5% penalty will be applied to any unpaid balance after the due date (refer to the due date on the bottom of your bill). Please note, the City does not have authority to waive or modify these penalty amounts.
**2. Does the City offer a Pre-Authorized Payment Plan?**
The City offers a pre-authorized tax and utility plan to make monthly pre-payments on your estimated bill. All 2025 tax and utility fees must be paid in full before enrolling in the 2026 Payment Plan. Learn more and apply at cnv.org/PrepaymentPlan.
**2. What has caused the rate increase?**
There are a number of drivers for the rate increase. The most significant driver is costs for the North Shore Waste Water Treatment plant. The majority of these costs are carried by residents of the North Shore.
* The original cost projection for the project designed to serve 300k+ residents on the North Shore was $700 million, which was subsequently raised to $1.06 billion in 2021. In June 2024, Metro Vancouver approved an increase of an additional $2.8 billion to this budget, raising the total budget to $3.86 billion.
* Residents of the North Shore are responsible for 37 percent of the costs of this project. North Shore residents represent seven per cent of the region's population.
* This project budget has resulted in a projected 218% increase in utility rates over a 5-year period.
Inflation and the impacts of climate change are also affecting everyone, including local governments. Costs of materials continue to rise, and increasingly severe weather events put additional strain on the City's infrastructure. For example, the impact of severe weather events like the recent atmospheric river in October 2024 are straining the City's sewer infrastructure, and ultimately drive the costs of maintaining and preparing our system against storms and surges to come.
**3. What is the City of North Vancouver doing to protect ratepayers from this increase?**
City of North Vancouver staff have been working to understand and plan for the implications of the current estimates to complete the NSWTP on local taxpayers. Over the coming years, the City will be drawing on its utility reserves to limit utility rate increases and smooth the impact of cost increases on ratepayers, who will be assuming 37 per cent of the extra costs.
All three municipalities on the north shore have elected officials that sit on the Board of Metro Vancouver and have been advocating on behalf of residents given the tax burden as a result of the project.
