Commercial accounts are billed the base rate plus water used. These accounts are metered and any water used over the allotted 63,646 litres per unit per billing period, is subject to additional charges based on the amount of extra water/sewer used.

 

WATERLINES

Now would be a good time to make sure your waterlines are prepared for the cold. Each winter we see frozen pipes that cause damage and often require a call out fee for village staff to shut water off. Being prepared can save you money and prevent a big cleanup.
