2024 Water & Sewer Works Rate Policy and Capital Investment Strategy
The RM sends out sewer invoices quarterly. Payment is due upon receipt, with late payment fees of 2% beginning after 30 days. Your sewer invoice total is based on several factors, including:
| Residential property connected to a public wastewater utility | $144.66 |
| Commercial/Industrial property connected to both a public wastewater utility and a public water utility | 10% of your water bill, or $144.66, whichever is greater |
| Commercial/Industrial Property connected to a public wastewater utility but NOT connected to a public water utility | $173.64 |
| Note: A $35.83 wastewater infrastructure fee is added per month to each bill. | |
Municipal wastewater rates are set (or reviewed) every year and must be approved by the Saskatchewan Municipal Board. Municipal staff & council set the RM's wastewater rates in February 2024.
Note: Sewer clean-out pipes are located at your property line. Ensure your pipes have a lid on them. Without a lid, the sewer line will freeze. It is not the responsibility of the RM to thaw your pipe if this happens, with costs incurred to thaw it open the responsibility of the property owner.
