All these bylaws determine an increase in rates for these services. To view the new rates go the link above.
Councillor Cross asked whether residents who are not hooked up to city services must pay these rates. Response from administration stated that frontage tax must be paid if services run in front of the property even if they are not hooked up. Utility fees are not paid if the services are not hooked up.
Councillor Warner commented he did not realise some water metering exists in the city.
