Hello Ward 8 Neighbours,
The City of Hamilton is advising water customers of changes to water and wastewater/storm rates that are effective as of January 1, 2025.
For more details, please continue reading below…
City Council has approved a combined 9.95% increase to the water and wastewater/storm rates. The average water and wastewater residential bill will increase roughly $8.01/month or $96.10/year.
Why do rates keep increasing?
The cost to distribute, collect and treat municipal water and wastewater throughout the City remains has increased due to extraordinary inflation. The capital renewal and expansion of the City’s overall wastewater/water/stormwater infrastructure continues to increase as aging City infrastructure becomes more costly to operate and maintain.
Residents of Ward 8 should receive a bill insert which will accompany your January water bill. Newspaper adds will also run in the Hamilton Spectator January 10th.
In case you do miss it in the Hamilton Spectator or with your water bill, you can view the changes to water & wastewater/stormwater rates below.
