The Public Utilities Board is the provincial regulatory agency that reviews and approves rates
for water and wastewater utilities in Manitoba, with the exception of the City of Winnipeg. The
Board's review process involves:
- the Utility filing a rate application to the Board,
- a public notification of proposed rate changes,
- the Board's review of the application through a public hearing or paper review process,
and
- the issuance of an Order which outlines the Board's decision on the rate application
and the rates to be charged.
The Manitoba Ombudsman has privacy guidelines for administrative tribunals. The Board is
mindful of its obligations under those guidelines. Its decisions in respect of the application
being considered will be sensitive to the guidelines. Personal information will not be disclosed
unless it is appropriate and necessary to do so. However, the Board advises participants that
these proceedings are public and that as a result, personal information protections are
reduced.
The Board will then decide whether any further notice is required and whether to proceed with
a public hearing or paper review process. All concerns received by the Board will be
considered in the Board's decision on rates to be charged.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT IN CONSIDERING THIS APPLICATION, THE PUBLIC
UTILITIES BOARD MAY OR MAY NOT FIND IT NECESSARY TO DETERMINE RATES
DIFFERENT FROM THOSE APPLIED FOR BY THE APPLICANT.
Note: All proceedings will be conducted in accordance with the Board's Rules of Practice and
Procedure, which the Board may vary in order to constrain regulatory costs. The Rules are
available at www.pubmanitoba.ca.
