TOWN OF LEROY BYLAW NO. 1-2023 A BYLAW OF THE TOWN OF LEROY TO FIX THE RATES TO BE CHARGED FOR THE USE AND CONSUMPTION OF WATER AND TO FIX THE RATES TO BE CHARGED BY WAY OF RENT OR SERVICE CHARGE FOR THE USE OF SEWER The Council of the Town of LeRoy, in the Province of Saskatchewan, enacts as follows: 1. The charges to be paid by the water consumer whose water service has been turned 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. 2. Persons who own or occupy premises drained 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. 3. All home owners desiring to be supplied with water from the Municipality's water supply system shall make application with the Municipality and pay a meter deposit in the sum of $100.00. All renters desiring to be supplied with water from the Municipality's water supply system shall make application with the Municipality and pay a meter deposit in the sum of $100.00. 4. Accounts for water service and/or sewer service shall cover a period of two successive months, and shall be rendered on or before the first day of the month next following such period. Accounts shall be actual readings of the water meter for all billings. 5. Accounts shall be paid within a period of thirty days from the date on which such accounts are rendered. If an account is not paid within the period of thirty days and water service may be discontinued without notice. When the water service is discontinued, it shall not be reconnected until all arrears and accrued penalties have been paid in full, together with a fee of $50.00 to cover the expenses of turning off the water and turning it on again; provided that if it is required to turn on the water service outside the employees' regular working hours, the fee shall be $100.00. 6. Where an account remains unpaid after 30 days from the day it is rendered, there shall be added thereto by way of penalty an amount equal to 2% compounded monthly. 7. In the event that a meter when read is found to have failed to register incorrectly during any portion of the preceding period, the amount of water consumption for such period shall be taken to be either the same as that of the next previous period in which the meter has registered correctly, or the same as that of the corresponding period in the next preceding year, whichever may be more advantageous to the water consumer. 8. No person shall turn water on in any premises or open a Town cock or curb stop except a town employee or person authorized by the municipality. When water has been turned off for non-payment of rates or for failure to protect meters or pipes to the satisfaction of the municipality, or for any other necessary or proper reason, no person shall turn it on again who is not duly authorized to do so. 9. Every customer intending to vacate any premises supplied with water from the waterworks system or who intends to discontinue the use of such water shall give notice of the same to the Town and shall turn off the main valve on the inside of the building before leaving. 10. There shall be a $50.00 fee charged to consumers for discontinuance and reconnection of water service on a seasonal basis. This must be the property owner's principle residence. 11. Where a consumer permits a water meter to freeze up, and damage to the meter results, repairs shall be made by the Town and the cost of materials and labour shall be added to the consumer's account. 12. Any person or persons tampering with the water meters as installed by the Municipality, shall have their water supply shut off, and it shall not be turned on again until a service penalty charge of $100.00 has been paid. 13. All outstanding water bills will be the responsibility of the property owner. 14. Bylaw No. 4/15 is hereby repealed. 15. Coming into Force This Bylaw shall come into force and take effect on the day of approval being issued by the Local Government Committee.
