Water & Sewer

Sewer and Water

 

The Municipality of Alexander has introduced a new meter reading system which will more accurately assess consumption.

 

Meter readings are essential if a resident/tenant is vacating or moving into a residence, in order that billings reflect a correct share of water consumption.  It is the homeowners/landlords’ responsibility to contact the Municipal Office prior to the move in/move out date to ensure accurate changes to the account and correct final billing.

 

Landlords are also reminded that should a tenant vacate and leave an outstanding water bill, the landlord is responsible for payment.   Landlords will receive a ‘Copy’ of the utility bill upon request.


Utility Rates

 

The Public Utilities Board (PUB) has approved utility rates for the Municipality of Alexander, as per Board Order 05-20, January 1, 2020.  If you have questions or concerns, please contact the Municipal Office at 204.367.6170.
