User Rate Charges for Secondary Suites

Properties with a secondary suite are subject to additional sewer and garbage charges, and receive larger thresholds for each step rate of water consumption.  For current charges, please see our Billing Rates page

If you are not utilizing your secondary suite, you may be eligible to have your charges reduced. Please complete and submit a Secondary Suite Declaration Form to apply to have the suite fees removed from future statements.
