## CITY OF WARMAN
## BYLAW NO. 2026-02
## A Bylaw to Regulate Water and Utility Rates
The Council of the City of Warman in the Province of Saskatchewan enacts as follows:
1. All persons desiring to be supplied with water from the City's water supply system shall make application to the officials of the City. Each application shall be accompanied by a meter deposit in an amount equal to schedule "C", or as amended from time to time. The meter and service deposits shall be refunded upon service being discontinued provided all water/sewer usage charges are paid in full.
2. All persons who, as of the date of the enactment of this section, have a deposit on hand with the City of Warman pursuant to section 1 hereof and are desiring to receive it back prior to service disconnection are eligible if:
- a) They own the property and are not leasing or renting
- b) They have 2 consecutive years of good standing with the City of Warman, in relation to utility bill payments. Good standing is in the sole opinion of the City Manager, Director of Finance and Utility Clerk. Examples of being not in good standing include but are not limited to: arrears of a utility account, water shut offs due to unpaid utility bills, having been sent to collections, having received a shut off notice.
Any person who satisfies the foregoing criteria may make written application to the City of Warman for the early refund of his or her deposit. Persons requesting an early refund of their deposit will be subject to a $20.00 administration charge; therefore, their refund will be returned via cheque or credit on account for the amount of the deposit less $20.00. Administration will attach a deposit refund request form annually to each eligible person and it will be the responsibility of the account holder to fill out the request and return it to City Hall for a refund. Refunds will only be granted after administration has confirmed the information contained in the refund request is accurate and that the applicant satisfies the criteria for a refund. Refunds, if applicable, will be processed within sixty (60) days of receipt of application.
3. The City may by bylaw ration or limit the amount of water furnished to any and/or all consumers should circumstance deem to warrant such action.
