there is still a little room for
maneuvering, city council. has
given first three readings to sewer —
and water rate bylaws which don’t

affect water rates but offer a 16.55

percent hike in sewer user and

frontage rates.

What this means for the owner of
a single family residence is an
increase in the monthly sewer user
rate from $7.70 to $9 per month,
or annually, from $92.40 to $108.
And the frontage tax, based on a
minimum 100 foot frontage, will
rise from $76 per year to $89 per
year.

Overall then, the average owner
of a single family dwelling then
will pay $197 per year for sewage
services instead of the old rate of
$168.40. The frontage tax alone
will raise $295,763 in revenues

sira means that the city sewage
system will for the first time raise
as much money as it costs to
operate and maintain.

tent.

Monthly sewer user rates under
the revised bylaw will be $58.25
