At the June 20, 2024 Regular Meeting of Council, a presentation was received from Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. on the 2024 Water/Wastewater Rate Study. Council debated the two scenarios presented and resolved for staff to report back with further options for consideration. It was noted that these further options would need to come to a Special Meeting prior to July 12, 2024 to meet reporting deadlines through the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP), but we have since received an extension on the financial component of the renewal application. Therefore, the further discussion on the Water/Wastewater Rate Study is expected to be on the September 5, 2024 Regular Meeting of Council.
