water tapIt’s official.  Your water bill will be based on the amount of water you use starting on September 1st.  North Bay Council made that a reality last night by passing a bylaw. Councillor George Maroosis says now is a good time to register and you can do that by going to the city’s web site to register. He says the more people are familiar with how the consumption water metering model works the better.

A reminder the bylaw passed last night is just for this year.

Maroosis chairs a committee that is looking at this issue moving forward. 

He says water use is higher in the summer and that is similar to your heating use in the winter when costs go up.
