BYLAW NO. 2022 - 05
Town of Rocanville
A BYLAW 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 Rocanville, in the Province of Saskatchewan, enacts as
follows:
1.
The charges to be paid by the water consumer, whose service is located within
the corporate limits of the Town of Rocanville, 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.
The charges to be paid by the water consumer:
a) whose service is located outside the corporate limits of the Town of
Rocanville, whose water service has been turned on;
b) whose primary purpose is to haul potable water for agricultural/domestic use
outside the corporate limits of the Town of Rocanville; or
c) who is obtaining potable water from a key-operated water outlet for
commercial use
shall be those set out in Schedule "C" attached; provided, however, that the
minimum shall be payable in every case whether or not any water is consumed.
4.
Accounts for water service and/or sewer service shall cover a period of three
successive months, and shall be invoiced as early as possible in the months of
February, May, August and November. Accounts shall be paid within the three
month billing period, before another quarterly billing is rendered. If an account
is not paid prior to the next billing, the water service may be discontinued or the
amount in arrears may be added to the corresponding property tax account.
When the water service is disconnected, it shall not be re-established until all
arrears have been paid, together with a fee of $50.00 to cover the expense of
disconnected and reconnecting the utility service. If it is required to turn on the
utility service outside the employees' regular working hours, the reconnection
fee shall be $100.00.
5.
Consumers will be eligible for a $15 discount on current charges when paying
during the month of invoicing (February, May, August and November) or when
making prepayments.
6.
A penalty of 10% will be added to all water and sewer accounts outstanding at
the date of the next billing.
7.
Bylaw No. 2015 - 09 of the Town of Rocanville is repealed.
The rates, charges, tolls or rents contained in this bylaw shall come into force and take
effect on the day of approval being issued by the Local Government Committee of the
Saskatchewan Municipal Board.

Rural Use
There are no consumers in Schedule "C" that receive sewer services from the Town of
Rocanville; therefore, Schedule "B" does not apply to any of these customers.
Basic charges that vary, due to water meter size, are justified because the Town's
infrastructure was been built to accommodate their potential requirements.
