Stormwater Charge Billing Begins in March 2016
The City of Mississauga's stormwater charge will be applied daily starting January 1, 2016. The charge will appear on the Region of Peel water bills for Mississauga beginning in March 2016.
The total annual stormwater charge for a property will be divided into a daily rate. Each bill will show the stormwater charge for the number of days that have passed since the last bill.
Daily and annual estimates of the stormwater charge for properties are available at
www.stormwatercharge.ca
. For example, a home in the medium category would pay $100 annually or approximately 27 cents daily.
The number of days may vary from bill to bill, depending on the billing cycle which is related to the water meter reading schedule. Region of Peel water bills will be sent on the same schedule as they are today.
The stormwater charge is a dedicated source of funding that directly supports the City of Mississauga's stormwater management program. It will help reduce potential risks to you, your property and the environment. The funds from the stormwater charge will be used to invest more money in our stormwater system to keep it in good working order and to avoid costly repairs in the future. The funds cannot be used for other services and programs as stated in the
Stormwater Fees and Charges By-law.
