-
Sask Landing Regional Water Pipeline Utility charges a flat fee of $35.00 per month per meter
to cover their maintenance costs and loan restructuring costs.
-
Kyle debenture payment ($10.00) per month per meter will be applied.
Under the waterworks rate policy, the per thousand gallons water rate of $26.00 and the base rate of $50.00 for 2500
gallons and a $10.00 per meter debenture payment was implemented on May 1, 2020 as adopted under Bylaw 07-2020
dated April 8, 2020 to work towards waterworks revenue that cover waterworks operating costs It came into effect
May 1, 2020. Council will closely monitor waterworks expenditures.
The objective of the waterworks rate policy is to work towards waterworks that are self-financing, where the users pay
for the cost of the service. To accomplish this, waterworks rates need to increase over time so that the revenues will
cover operating costs, to the extent possible. At the end of the 2025 year, Council will review its waterworks policy to
determine if revenues are covering costs. At that time, Council will also need to consider increasing rates to build the
waterworks reserves in order to cover future infrastructure maintenance and replacements costs.
The town has one (1) debenture issues outstanding, both of which were used to loan funds to the Saskatchewan
Landing Regional Water Pipeline Utility to assist in the cost of construction of the pipeline. Bylaw No 07-2013 has a
principal balance of $2,123,080.36 with interest at 4.4%, requiring annual payments of $210,781 in years 2014 through
2033. These debenture issues were approved by the Local Government Committee of the Saskatchewan Municipal
Board on October 7, 2013
This waterworks rate policy will work towards financially independent waterworks that do not have to compete with
other key municipal financial demands under the municipal general revenue fund. This will ensure our waterworks can
provide safe drinking water. Also, rates that cover costs will influence consumer demand and water conservation, and
self-financing waterworks will reduce pressures on property taxes. Reducing funding for the waterworks from the
general revenue fund will be reflected in future mill rates.
WATERWORKS CAPITAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Capital plans have been established to address the waterworks infrastructure deficiencies and replacements that will be
identified in a Water Infrastructure Study. The current waterworks capital plans and planned sources of funding are as
