A person/entity using or benefiting from a municipal good/service (like transit, solid waste, parking, or recreation facilities) or a utility (like water or sewer) will pay for it through a per-unit charge.
Typically, the good, service, or utility is managed separate from other municipal services.
You may set up fees as full cost-recovery models. Fees collected from the use or benefit of a municipal good or service should be used by the municipality to provide the service. Examples may include:
Council can set utility service rates through a bylaw. These rates can include:
Each municipality sets its own rates based on its cost of providing the service.
The funds generated by fees are used for the utility service being provided. In a municipality other than a city, the Saskatchewan Municipal Board (SMB) must approve bylaws related to water consumption or use of the sewer.
