Notice to Water Consumers

In December 2004, the municipality of Leamington was advised by the Union Water System that the wholesale water rates being assessed to the municipality are being increased effective February 1, 2005.  The increase reflects the capital and operating costs anticipated by the Union Water System over the next ten years. 

Leamington has always been proactive in regards to full cost pricing of municipal water services; -- our rate structure has always been adequate in meeting past and future capital projects. It is suggested that water rates assessed to Leamington residents have remained constant over the years. Unfortunately, with the anticipated capital and operational initiatives suggested to both the Union Water System and the municipal distribution system the water rates will need to be adjusted to service our system improvements now and in the future. Following are the water rates, which were approved by council effective the April 1, 2005 consumption billing.
