Bylaw of the week: Utility infrastructure fee
Effective July 1, 2025, a $10 monthly infrastructure fee has been added to all utility accounts under recent amendments to the City’s Waterworks and Sewer Service Bylaws. This fee supports essential upgrades to Weyburn’s water and sewer systems and will appear on residential utility bills starting in August. While not directly enforced by police, such bylaws ensure the sustainable funding of critical infrastructure projects, helping to avoid placing the full financial burden on property taxes.
