Phase Three is the final phase of meter installations and involves installing water meters in the West Sechelt, West Porpoise Bay, The Shores, Downtown Sechelt, East Porpoise Bay, Sandy Hook, Tuwanek, Selma Park, Davis Bay, and Wilson Creek areas.

    There are no installation fees for residential properties as the project will be funded by the Regional Water Service. About one-third will be paid through the annual parcel tax, while the remaining two-thirds will be covered by the Federal grant.

    Every SCRD service connection will receive a meter. In most cases, properties will have one service connection and one meter.

    Will metering go into effect as the meters are installed of do we have to have until 2025 when they are all installed.

    Water meters start collecting data once installed. The SCRD currently collects meter data monthly.  Please visit  https://www.scrd.ca/water-use/  to sign up for your Monthly Water Use Updates.

                    

    The SCRD currently charges residential properties an annual flat user rate. SCRD is currently reviewing different water rate                           structure options.  There will be a Committee of the Whole meeting tomorrow (September 27th 2023) discussing Rate Structure Criteria.
