District of Coldstream Open House -- 2008 Financial Plan

Come out and see why your taxes are increased by 9.17% for 2008.

Come and see how your sewer fees are ballooning for the benefit of Coldstream Meadows development. Your sewer fees will increase from $540 to $568 per year. The kicker is that regardless how much sewer you contribute, one person or six people, you pay the same!

Just to provide an example:

As an individual you may pay $168.60 for your water and $568.00 for your sewer (based on winter consumption when all water used end up in the sewer).

Using the same assumptions, a family of six will pay $487.80 for water and $568.00 for sewer.

Would you consider that fair?

Much of our sewer rates are used for the extension of the sewer line from McClounie to Aberdeen Road and the buyout of Coldstream Meadows latecomer fees.

Further information will follow. It is important that as sewer customers you familiarize yourself with the true facts!

About Me

I have been a resident of Coldstream since 1976. I have had 15 years of experience on Council, 3 years as Mayor. As a current Councillor I am working to achieve fair water and sewer rates and to ensure that taxpayers get fair treatment. The current direction regarding water supply is unsustainable and I am doing all I can to get the most cost effective water supply possible.
