The Region of Peel is asking residents in Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon for more input on how they are charged for their water bills.
Over the next 10 years, the Region will be investing billions of dollars into drinking water and wastewater systems to upgrade pumping stations, treatment facilities, and underground pipes.
Money collected from resident’s water bills pay for system maintenance and upgrades, and the Region says feedback from the community will help keep rates fair while still covering the cost of upkeep.
Residents can give their feedback on the Region’s water system long-term financial plan at peelregion.ca until February 8, 2022.
This is the second phase of the Region’s public consultations on its water rates, with the first phase ending last month.
Most customers are billed every three months, but those that use over 455 cubic metres of water per month are billed monthly.
