PART 9 - SANITARY SEWER USER CHARGES
55.
All owners of real property connected to the municipal sanitary sewer system shall
pay the user charges as set out in Schedule "C" hereto. In the event that the owner
is exempt from payment of charges the charges shall be paid by the occupier.
Bylaw 1319.1 adopted May 10, 2000, added Section 55.1 as follows:
55.1 For the purposes of this bylaw, once a service connection has been provided to a
strata development all parcels within the strata development will be deemed to be
connected to the sewer system and user rates as specified shall be applied at the
date of connection.
56.
The monthly charge as set out in Schedule "C" shall apply to each month of use or
part thereof.
(a)
if a strata development is provided with sewer service, at the option of the
City, the City shall bill either, the individual owners of the strata lots the
user rates which are payable under this bylaw, or the City shall bill the strata
corporation the user rates which are payable under this bylaw for the number
of units within the strata corporation.
(b)
if the City bills the strata corporation and any portion of the user rates are
past due on December 31 in any year, the Collector shall divide the rates
equally among all the strata lots, unless the strata council has provided the
Bylaw No. 1319 - Consolidated - Page 17
Collector with a resolution identifying the strata lots whose owners have not
contributed to a partial payment of user rates by the strata corporation;
(c)
a resolution delivered to the Collector under subsection (b) may provide the
unit entitlements for the strata lots whose owners have not contributed, in
which case the Collector shall divide the unpaid rates in accordance with the
unit entitlements. If the unit calculations are not provided, the Collector
shall divide the unpaid charges equally among the strata lots identified in the
resolution;
(d)
the Collector shall immediately enter the unpaid rates on the property tax
roll for each strata lot as taxes in arrears.
57.

vacant or unoccupied premise provided that:
(a)
no sewer connection to the property exists; or
(b)
a shut-off notice in writing has been received and the service has been
discontinued.

substituted the following:
58.
The sewer user rates payable pursuant to Schedule "C" shall be subject to an
interest charge of 1% per month on all amounts that remain unpaid after the due
date.
Bylaw 1319.2 adopted June 2, 2003, deleted subsection 59 in its entirety and substituted
the following:
59.
The sewer rates payable pursuant to Schedule "C" shall be levied on or about March
31st and September 30th or at such time as may be deemed necessary by the City.
60.
In addition to the user charges payable under Schedule "C", if the volume of
industrial wastewater discharged from any premises exceeds 300 m3 in any 30 day
period, an additional user charge of $0.18 per cubic metre in excess of 300 m3 shall
be payable to the City.
Bylaw 1493 adopted on May 22, 2013, repealed Part 10 in its entirety.
PART 10 - SANITARY SEWER PARCEL TAXES
61.
Every owner of land or real property in the City which is adjacent or within 20
metres of a sanitary sewer system, and is not connected to the sanitary sewer
system, shall pay a parcel tax for the opportunity to use the sanitary sewer system
in accordance with Schedule "C".
62.
A parcel tax imposed under Section 61 shall be shown by the Collector on the real
property tax roll and payment of the parcel tax shall be made in the same manner
Bylaw No. 1319 - Consolidated - Page 18
on or before the same date as the real property tax. The same rights and remedies
apply to the parcel tax charge as to the said real property tax.
63.
If a strata development is used solely for storage and has no sewer facilities
available, other than to a building or structure on the common property, no parcel
tax shall be payable under Section 61.
64.
In the instance that a strata property is used solely for the purpose of storage and
is not connected to the water and sewer systems, for the purposes of this bylaw,
all of the strata units will be deemed to be one property for the purposes of the
parcel tax under Section 61.
