SPALLUMCHEEN WATER UTILITY
Understanding Your Water Rates
As part of our commitment to transparent and sustainable service delivery, the Township of Spallumcheen has introduced an updated water billing structure. This page explains how rates are set, what’s included in your bill, and what changes you can expect.
To ensure fair cost recovery and transparency, the Township has updated our billing model for the North and South LAS areas to reflect actual service delivery needs, infrastructure investments, and operating costs. These changes will come into effect for July 1, 2025 and will be reflected on your Quarter 3 invoice which comes out in October 2025.
Base Rate: Invoiced quarterly for each connection
North Metered Base Rate
$252.50/quarter
North Unmetered Base Rate
$137.75/quarter
South Industrial & Commercial
$352.50/quarter
South Residential, Agricultural and all other classes
$252.50/Quarter
Consumption Charges: Consumption will now be billed in two tiers.
Some properties will see a "Mock Rate" on your 2025 Quarter 2 and Quarter 3 invoices. Based on projected funding needs in some areas the projected 2026 Tier 2 rate will increase to $1.65. If you see the Mock Rate on your invoice this means that in 2026 any consumption over 80m3 will be invoiced at that rate. The Mock Rate displayed in 2025 is to allow customers time to adjust consumption patterns to lessen the impact. This amount is not to be paid in 2025.
