A Bylaw to fix the rates to be charged for the use and consumption of water and to fix the rates

The Council of the Village of Canwood, in the Province of Saskatchewan, enacts as follows:

This Bylaw may be cited as the “Water Sewer Rates Bylaw” or “Utilities Bylaw”.
If the water service is metered, the owner is responsible for repair and replacement of the water
meter that is damaged as a result of neglect, freezing or intentional damage.
The charges to be paid by the water consumer whose water service has been tured on shall be
those set out in Schedule "A" attached; provided, however, that the minimum shall be payable in
every case whether or not any water is consumed.
Persons who own or occupy premises that drain or, that are by bylaw, required to be drained into
the sewer shall pay for such services a rental rate or service charge in accordance with Schedule
"B" attached.
Accounts for water service and/or sewer service shall cover a period of two months, and shall be
rendered on or before the tenth day of the month following that period.
Water service and Sewer service fees for residents requesting seasonal or long-term water shut-
off will cease as of date of shut-off. Invoicing of Infrastructure Renewal fees will continue and
shall be payable in every case.
Seasonal Disconnect/Reconnect - $75/each, during business hours only
In conjunction with the water and sewer charges, the Village of Canwood shall also impose an
“Infrastructure Renewal Fee” to be levied on all properties within the Village that are served with
municipal water and sewer services in accordance with Schedule “C” hereto attached or as
amended from time to time.
Rural residents supplied with water and sewer service from the municipal system shall pay the
applicable charges from Schedule “A”, Schedule “B” and Schedule “C”. If the rural resident is
not serviced by the municipal sewer infrastructure, they will not be subject to the sewer charges
in Schedule “B”.
Accounts shall be paid within a period of sixty days from the date on which such accounts are
rendered. If an account is not paid within the period of sixty days, the water service may be cut
off. Prior to reconnecting a service all penalties, fees, rates, charges and arrears if any must be
paid along with the following fees:
Reconnect during business hours: $75.00
A penalty of two percent (2%) per month, will be added to all water and sewer accounts
outstanding after sixty days of the date of billing. Accounts remaining unpaid will continue to
accrue interest at a rate of two percent (2%) monthly thereafter.
