The water and wastewater rates that are charged to the users on a quarterly basis consist of two components:
- Fixed Water/Sewer Maintenance Charges - ensure a base level of funding is available to support life cycle maintenance of infrastructure assets used in the distribution and transmission of water and collection of wastewater, as well as related long-term debt servicing costs incurred.
- Variable Water/Sewer Use charges - are calculated on the basis of water consumption in cubic meters. The variable charges ensure annual operating costs for personnel (internal and contractors), water supply/distribution, wastewater collection/treatment, and general administration are appropriately funded.
Water and Wastewater Usage/Consumption & Maintenance Charges are invoiced on a quarterly billing cycle.

Water Bill Calculation
Quarterly Water Charge = Metered Usage (consumption) X Water Consumption Charge + Water System Base Charge
Quarterly Water & Wastewater (Sewer) Charge = Metered Usage (consumption) X (Water + Wastewater (Sewer) Consumption Charge) + Water System Base Charge + Wastewater System Base Charge.
Wastewater rates apply following connection to the sanitary sewer system and will be included as per the applicable mandatory connection by-law and notice.
Please be advised that several areas in Nobleton are now operational and properties have been connected to the sanitary sewer system. If this pertains to you, sewer system based and maintenance charges will be included on your water bill. In exchange for using the sanitary sewer system, residents are required to pay for the operating costs with each water billing. The costs that you paid earlier or that were added to your property taxes were for the capital portion of the sanitary sewers.
