As of December 1, 2018, the Utilities Consumer Advocate (UCA) is providing education and mediation services around water utilities as a result of Bill 14: An Act to Empower Utility Consumers. At a recent consultation, AUMA emphasized that municipalities use full-cost recovery accounting, which requires us to pass on the cost of services to residents.
AUMA recently received an inquiry from a member looking for an update on AUMA’s progress in working with Municipal Affairs on a replacement program for MSI. Although we did respond to the inquiry directly, we thought all AUMA members might benefit from the information.
What do you think is the purpose of AUMA’s resolutions? Please take couple of minutes to complete a brief survey to share your thoughts on resolutions by January 17, 2019.
