2025 Village of Neilburg Waterworks Rate Policy
Pursuant to Section 55 of The Municipalities Regulations, the municipality must submit its public
reporting on Municipal Waterworks to the Ministry of Government Relations and must be made
available to the public on or before September 1 of each year.
On August 10, 2026 the Council of the Village of Neilburg reviewed the following Waterworks
Rate Policy:
The Water and Sewer Bylaw states that the basic charge for water shall be $47.00 for the first 11 cubic
meters and $9.00 for every 4 cubic meters over the first 11. The basic charge for sewer shall be $18.00
for the first 11 cubic meters of water usage and $1.00 for every 4 cubic meters over the basic water
usage charge. The bylaw also has a Water Treatment Plant Infrastructure fee of $42.00 which will go
towards the principal portion of long-term financing for the construction of the expansion of the Water
Treatment Plant and the Water Infrastructure fee of $10.00 is for future capital expenditures.
Waterworks Capital Investment Strategy
The objective of the waterworks capital investment strategy is to address anticipated waterworks
infrastructure maintenance and future infrastructure replacement in a timely fashion to maintain high
quality water standards. To finance future waterworks infrastructure expenditures, Council will use the
reserves built using our waterworks rate policy as well as financing through debentures.
The following capital investment plans have been established:
2025 Annual Financial Review
Total Waterworks Revenues: $307,334
Total Waterworks Expenses: $326,722
Comparison of waterworks revenues to expenses, expressed as a ratio:
$307,334 = 0.94
$326,722
For 2025, waterworks revenues covered 94% of the waterworks expenses.
*The waterworks revenue and expenses do not include capital grants, capital expenses, debt
payments or sewer related revenue and expenses.
