On the first day of each month all single-family dwellings utility accounts are charged the monthly utility levy of $61.50 ($35.00 for water, $15.50 for garbage and $11.00 for sewer). This levy is due to be paid by the end of the current month (e.g. January 1 levy is due to be paid on or before January 31). Monthly utility bills are not mailed because of the flat $61.50 rate, however if an account is in arrears a bill will be mailed.

10% Penalty

A 10% penalty on all outstanding accounts is evoked on the first day of the new billing period. Water services for all accounts that are in arrears on the 16th day of the new billing period qualify for disconnection. If an account is in arrears the utility bill along with a notice that indicates a specific date for disconnection will be mailed. 

Reconnection Fee

In order to have water service reconnected the full amount owing must be paid in full as well as the reconnection fee, which is $50.00 during working hours (Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00-4:30 p.m.) or $100.00 after working hours or weekends.

Methods of Payment

Automatic debit is available, which takes place on the 15th day of each month. Authorization forms, which must be accompanied with a void cheque, are available at the Town Office. Postdated cheques are accepted; telephone banking is available for customers who deal with CIBC or ATB Financial only. Additional methods of payment are Debit card, Credit card and Cash or Cheque. We do not accept credit card payment authorization over the telephone. There is a mail slot on the front of the Town Office for after regular office hour drop offs.

Watering By-Law
Council reminds residents that the Town of Beaverlodge has a water use by-law in place.  This is very important as it helps us to conserve and protect our water supply, while still allowing residents to water their lawns and keep them looking beautiful. Normal watering days for odd numbered houses are Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday and for even numbered houses Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Watering may only be done during the following hours: 6 – 9 a.m. and 7 – 11 p.m. Flowerbeds and vegetable gardens may be watered by hand, at any time, using a watering can or a hose with a nozzle with a trigger shut off to restrict water flow. Children’s water toys may be used for recreational purposes as long as the children are present.   

These are level 1 restrictions and fines can be levied if they are not adhered to.  If conditions exist that cause Council to impose further restrictions, they can increase the level upon notification of the public.
