Water Meter-Based Billing Delayed for Wawa

Wawa Municipal Council will have more time to consider water meter-based billing.

During last night's Corporate Planning Committee meeting, CAO/Treasurer Maury O'Neill told Council she's now recommending against switching at the start of next year.

O'Neill says that delay will be a boon.

O'Neill says an information session will be held at the Community Centre December 12th - from 3 to 7 pm - and notes municipal staff can help homeowners or businesses get an idea of what their bill would look like, based on last year or even this year's water usage.

While O'Neill has recommended a delay in implementing water meter-based billing - suggesting that'll come back before Council in February - she is still recommending Council approve a change to three bills a year, rather than the current two.

That proposal will go to Council for a vote December 10th.
