Water and Sewer Utility Billing
Utility Billing
Water and sewer costs are paid for through user charges, which are based on water consumption, and capital infrastructure levies, which are fixed amounts charged to a parcel of property. The water and sewer user charges are billed tri-annually, while the capital infrastructure levies are charged on the annual property tax notice.
To sign up for utility e-billing or view your balance owing for utilities, you can sign up for an Online Services account.

Water Leak Adjustments
If a property owner experiences a leak in their water system, leading to higher than normal water consumption, they may be eligible for a one-time leak adjustment once they have remedied the leak. Please see the policy and form below that outlines the circumstances under which property owners can apply for a leak adjustment, and the methodology that will be used to calculate the amount of the adjustment.
