As many of you know, the Village purchases our drinking water from Sask Water. Over the past couple of years, Sask Water has done extensive capital upgrades to their system to keep providing their customers with safe drinking water. Unfortunately, these upgrades come with a cost. The beginning of 2025, Sask Water increased their rates by 13% and in 2026, they will increase by 10%. As a result of these increases, Council passed a bylaw increasing the Village’s rates by approximately 7%. Your average monthly rate will go from $118/month to $126.25/month. Starting in January, the new rates will be:

MONTHLY WATER RATES:

4,000 Gallons or Less Minimum $103.25 per month

4,001 Gallons to 8,000 Gallons $27.65 per 1,000 Gallons or part thereof

Over 8,001 Gallons $34.45 per 1,000 Gallons or part thereof

Pumphouse-Bulk Water Sales $32.00 per 1,000 Gallons

MONTHLY SEWER SERVICE CHARGES:

$23.00 PER MONTH
