the premises as set out in of Schedule D to this Bylaw.
101 Subject to Section 100, every primary customer or co-applicant shall pay the daily
base charge applicable to a given meter size whether or not the primary customer or
co-applicant actually discharged wastewater into the public sewage works.
102 Where the installed meter at a premises is determined by the City to be oversized
for the requirements of a primary customer or co-applicant, the City may replace
the meter or set the daily base charge assuming an appropriately sized meter.
103 The City shall:
(a)
bill each account for sewer services at such times as the City considers
appropriate;
(b)
deliver account billings to customers by mail or other available means; and
(c)
include on each bill:
(i)
the daily base charge;
(ii)
the uniform volume charge;
(iii) the wastewater surcharge;
(iv) the storm sewer drainage levy;
(v)
any other charges due and payable by that account; and
(vi) the amount of the actual or estimated usage on which the charges were
calculated.
104 The total amount shown on the bill as owing is due and payable on the date of
delivery to the primary customer or co-applicant.
105 Any amounts not paid within 30 days of becoming due and payable shall be subject
to a late payment charge based on the rate of interest set out in Schedule D to this
Bylaw.
105.1 Notwithstanding section 105, from March 20, 2020 until September 30, 2020, no
new late payment charges shall be added to any primary customer or co-applicant's
account.
(#2020-20, S4, 2020)
106 Where a primary customer, owner, or co-applicant fails to pay the total amount
shown as owing on a bill prior to the late payment dated provided on the bill, the
City may discontinue services to that primary customer or co-applicant.
107 For billing periods of less than or greater than the base billing period, the City may
adjust the daily base charge.
108 Every primary customer or co-applicant shall pay a uniform volume charge as set
out in Schedule D to this Bylaw for a percentage of each cubic metre of water used.
The percentage factors to be used for this purpose are:
(a)
standard residential premises
82%
(b)
multi-residential premises
95%
(c)
commercial premises
98%
109 Where a meter reading is not obtained by the City for a billing period water usage
may be estimated based on an amount deemed by the City to be representative of
that account's usage.
110 Where water usage has not been properly recorded on the water meter, usage may
be determined based on an amount deemed by the City to be representative of that
account's usage.
111 An owner or occupant who uses water not originating from the City's water system
but which enters the public sewage works shall install a water meter or effluent
meter in compliance with the requirements of the City.
112 An effluent meter in section 111 of this Bylaw shall be read at the same time as
water meters that measure water originating from the City's water systems are read.
The total quantity of water used and wastewater discharged shall be subject to the

113 Where a commercial premises or multi-residential premises has a special water
usage (i.e. water bottling facilities or extensive irrigation) for which a substantial
portion of the water purchased by a primary customer or co-applicant is not
returned to the public sewage works, the primary customer or co-applicant may
apply to the City for a reduction in wastewater service charge.
114 To be eligible for a reduction in wastewater service charge pursuant to section 113
of this Bylaw:
(a)
the water consumption associated with the special usage shall:
(i)
in the case of ICI premises, exceed two percent of the premises' total
usage; or
(ii)
in the case of multi-residential premises, exceed five percent of the
premise's total usage; and
(b)
the owner or occupant shall install a separate meter, approved by the City, to
measure the water consumption associated with the special usage.
115 The consumption measured by the separate meter, in section 114 of this Bylaw
shall be multiplied by a percentage factor determined by the City to be reflective of
the customer's special usage.
116 The amount of the calculated consumption in section 115 of this Bylaw shall be
deducted from the total consumption of the premises to determine the uniform
volume charge.
Wastewater Surcharge
117 Every primary customer or co-applicant shall pay a surcharge in addition to the
sewer service charge as set out in sections 90, 91, 92, 100 and 108 of this Bylaw,
when tests carried out pursuant to this Bylaw show that the wastewater from any
ICI premises exceeds the concentration of surcharge substances in Schedule C to
this Bylaw.
118 The wastewater surcharge shall be determined in cents per cubic metre of
wastewater discharged into the public sewage works and shall be calculated in
accordance with the formula described in Schedule C to this Bylaw.
119 A surcharge rate shall remain in effect for no less than 4 months, or until
subsequent testing determines different values.
120 Where the concentration of contaminants in the wastewater is determined from
wastewater sampled from a monitoring access point that serves more than one
premises, and each of the premises is individually metered, the surcharge rate will
be applied to the utility bill of each of the premises.
120.1 Every person wishing to access recycled water from the Regina Wastewater
Treatment Plant in accordance with section 35.2 of The Regina Administration
Bylaw No. 2003-69 shall enter into a written agreement with the City in relation to
