A BYLAW OF THE TOWN OF WATROUS 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 Watrous, in the Province of Saskatchewan, enacts as follows:
1.
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; 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.
Water consumers shall pay a Capital Infrastructure Fee in accordance with Schedule "C" attached.
4.
Accounts for water service and/or sewer service shall cover a period of two successive months and
shall be rendered on or about the first day of the month next following such period. Accounts shall be
paid within a period of thirty days from the date on which such accounts are rendered. If an account is
not paid within the period of thirty days, 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 $40.00 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.
5.
The Town of Watrous has the right to ration or limit the amount of water supplied to any or all
consumers should circumstances warrant such action.
6.
A penalty of 2% shall be added to all water and sewer accounts outstanding 30 days after such
accounts are rendered.
7.
Bylaw No. 05-2018 is hereby repealed.
THE rates, charges, tolls or rents contained in this bylaw shall come into force and take effect on approval
being issued by the Local Government Committee.
