### Water and Wastewater Rates
Council approved water and wastewater rates based on water consumption effective April 1, 2026.
The water and wastewater rates support the operating costs associated to water and wastewater delivery. A significant portion of the operating cost is attributed to charges from York Region related to providing safe drinking water to Stouffville residents and the treatment of wastewater.
The 2026 water and wastewater rates are:
### Water & wastewater rates
### Water
per cubic meter
$2.76
### Wastewater

$3.49
### Total - water + wastewater
per cubic meter
$6.25
### Stormwater rates
### Residential

$9.50
### Commercial

$36.50
Stormwater fees fund the maintenance and replacement of our stormwater network. Our stormwater system protects our community and the environment from the harmful effects of stormwater runoff such as erosion, flooding and poor water quality.

### Water and Wastewater Financial Plan and Rate Study
The Town's Water and Wastewater Financial Plan and Rate Study provides a long-term financial strategy to support the sustainability of the Town's water and wastewater systems. It identifies the funding required to operate, maintain, and renew critical infrastructure while ensuring the continued delivery of safe, reliable, and efficient water and wastewater services to the community.
The study also establishes a sustainable rate structure that balances the need to fund current operations, invest in future infrastructure needs, and support the long-term financial stability of the water and wastewater systems.

### Capital Infrastructure Fee
The Capital Infrastructure fee is a fixed quarterly charge based on your property's meter size. This gives the Town a stable source of annual funding to cover the costs of maintaining water supply and delivery as well as wastewater collection and treatment. Visit **www.townofws.ca/watervideo**
The Capital Infrastructure Fee is a fixed rate to ensure that every time you turn on the taps in your home, there is clean, safe drinking water available, and the dirty water is taken away in the wastewater system. The fees will support our water and wastewater capital infrastructure as follows:
**Water**: Pays for water distribution, collection, treatment and infrastructure maintenance and renewal.
**Wastewater**: Pays for wastewater collection, treatment and infrastructure maintenance and renewal.
Details can be found in the **staff report** approved by Council.
