Water bills in Winnipeg are increasing.
City Council supported four years’ worth of water bill hikes.
So let’s break this down:
- The increase for a typical residential bill would go up by three per cent in 2020, an increase of $33.
- In 2021 it would go up by another three per cent, an increase of $35.
- In 2022 it would go up by 2.8 per cent, an increase of $34
- In 2023 it would go up buy 2.8 percent
Why is this happening? To pay for billions of dollars of wastewater upgrades, this include improvements to the North End Sewage Treatment Plant.
