Reading Your Utility Bill

What is typical consumption for a family of four?

38 Cubic Meters

How much is a utility bill for a family of four?

The total cost for water and sewer depends on consumption.  In addition to the consumption charges there are also fixed charges.

Consumption Rate: $.75 per cubic metre  (A reading of 25 cubic metres of water would be a charge of $18.75)

Water fixed charge: $35.00

Sewer fixed charge: $35.00 or 1/2 water charge, whichever is greater to a maximum of $210.00

How is your water bill calculated?

Your water metre measures the water consumed in cubic metres.  One cubic metre equals 220 Imperial Gallons.  The amount of water your residence or business consumes is multiplied by the current water & sewer rates 

Am I still charged if I don't use any water?

There is a minimum cost charged to be able to supply water services to your property even if no water is actually used.  This is the fixed charge for the water and sewer system.

If you are going to be absent from your residence for an extended period of time, the service can be inactivated and then reactivated upon your return.  There is an associated cost with this service.  Contact the Town of Bashaw at (780) 372 - 3911 for more information.

What is the garbage fee?

The garbage collection fee enables weekly collection of your waste and bi-weekly collection of recyclables.  This is also a fixed rate.  Garbage Rates
