This bylaw may be cited as the "Utility Rates and Infrastructure Levy Bylaw".
WHEREAS the Council of the Town of Norquay is authorized pursuant to The Municipalities Act to
establish and operate public utility services and fix rates, charges, tolls and rents for such services;
AND WHEREAS Council deems it necessary to establish rates and utility infrastructure levies sufficient to
support the operation, maintenance, debt servicing, repair and replacement of municipal water and
wastewater infrastructure;
NOW THEREFORE the Council of the Town of Norquay, in the Province of Saskatchewan, enacts as
follows:
1. All persons desiring to be supplied with water from the Municipality's water supply system and sewer
services shall make application to the officials of the Municipality.
2. 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 whether or not any water is consumed.
3. 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.
4. Every customer that has a water charge shall pay Utility Infrastructure Levy No. 1 in the amount of
$56.00 per quarter. Revenue generated from Utility Infrastructure Levy No. 1 shall be used for debt
servicing costs associated with utility capital projects.
5. Every customer that has a water charge shall pay Utility Infrastructure Levy No. 2 in the amount of
$55.00 per quarter. Revenue generated from Utility Infrastructure Levy No. 2 shall be used for utility

2026, being the Water and Sewer Management Bylaw, as amended from time to time.
6. Accounts for water service and/or sewer service shall cover a period of three months, payable in
advance. Accounts shall be paid on or before the first day of the month next following the billing period

arrears within a period of thirty days after the next billing date, the water service may be cut off. When the
water service is cut off, it shall not be turned on until all arrears have been paid, 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.

pursuant to this Bylaw may be collected in accordance with The Municipalities Act and Bylaw No. 05-

day of the month next following the billing period.

consumers, should the circumstances seem to warrant such action.
