Have You Looked At Your Water Bill Lately?

This blog discusses the City of Ottawa's new tiered water billing structure, which charges condominium corporations more if they fall into a higher tier, despite their individual unit owners using less water. The goal of the new billing structure is to encourage water conservation, but this is a concern for condo corporations who are paying more for consuming less. While the new stormwater fee, a fixed fee applied to all accounts, is cut in half for townhomes and apartments, it is uncertain whether this makes up for the higher rate for domestic water consumption.
