Oxford County will stop using a flat fee for water and wastewater rates starting on April 1st.
The new water and wastewater rates for the next four years have been approved by Oxford County Council.
They will take effect on April 1st. Manager of Water Services for Oxford County Debra Goudreau tells Heart FM the biggest change will be for the Township water and waste water system users.
"Well this is when we are implementing the metre rates to all of the Township water users. Up until this time, users have been paying a flat fee for their water consumption regardless of how much water they have used. Over the last year we have been installing water metres across all of our township systems and we are just wrapping up that project in the next month or so. On April 1st we will actually be able to start billing those customers on metre rates."
Work on installing new water metres and reading equipment has been ongoing across the County over the past year. Residents who have been unable to have a meter installed to date should contact Customer Service as soon as possible to avoid increased charges when the metered rates take effect.
