As of Fall 2022, quarterly billing for Community Water System customers is required to go to the landowner of the property. This means that tenants will no longer receive these bills in their mail. Please contact the TNRD if you have questions or require more information. Contact information is listed below on this webpage.
How To Calculate Your Water Bill
- Look at your Service code on your mock bill, which refers to your Community Water System and the meter line size installed into your house.
- Look at the Current Reading compared to the Previous Reading to calculate consumption in that quarter.
- Determine the total consumption cost by using the following formula:
- (Consumption amount * consumption rate) + Base rate = Total bill amount

How Water Rates Are Set
Water rates and service fees are established through Utility Rates Bylaw 2840. This bylaw includes planned rate increases for between 2024 and 2028 to ensure that sufficient funds are available for maintenance of existing equipment, by building reserves to sustainable levels.
Below, you can view Bylaw 2840, which shows base rates and consumption rates for each TNRD Community Water System.
