New billing cycle for water and wastewater will begin on April 1, 2024
SYDNEY, NS - Beginning on April 1, a new water-wastewater billing cycle will begin that is based on customer water usage. CBRM Council approved a new wastewater discharge by-law at the council meeting on Tuesday, March 26.
The CBRM Water Utility and CBRM Wastewater Department are in process of becoming a UARB-regulated commission named the CBRM Water and Wastewater Commission. Water and wastewater services will be entirely based on customer usage. Currently, the system is a combination of customer use billing and property tax billing.
“Water utility customers are on rotating billing cycles, but we want to make all customers aware that the new billing process for the usage-based system will begin on April 1st,” said Greg Campbell, Manager of Technical Support Services – Utilities at CBRM.
“This new billing allows residents to have more control over their water bill as it will reflect usage,” added Campbell. “Anyone wanting to make conservation efforts will see more value to that beginning on April 1 onward.”
