The City of Fort St. John is moving forward with changes to water rates starting in 2025.
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. – The City of Fort St. John is moving forward with changes to water rates starting in 2025.
During the November 12th regular meeting of council, councillors voted unanimously to adopt an amendment by title only to the Water Regulation Bylaw passed in 2019.
Coming into effect on January 1st, 2025, the amendment sees water rates increase to $1.98 per cubic meter on metered commercial, residential, industrial, and mixed-use premises.
Late payments will also change starting in 2025. If unpaid by the end of the month, a late payment fee of 2 percent of the invoice amount will be charged.
The only exceptions approved for this late payment charge include a state of emergency declared by the city, the province, or the government of Canada and a city council vote to waive the late payment charges.
North Peace Airport Services will also not be charged a late payment fee until the invoice is unpaid for three months.
