2010 Rate Adjustment


The provincial government recently approved SaskWater's request for a rate increase. Effective for the April billing period, SaskWater will raise rates by
9% for potable customers and 5.9% to 9% for non-potable customers.


Unlike many other water and wastewater utilities across the province, SaskWater did not increase rates in 2008 or 2009. SaskWater has not had a rate increase since May 1, 2007.


Over the past three years, SaskWater's operating costs have increased due to rising electricity/energy costs, increased costs to purchase water, general inflationary pressures and increasing investments in capital improvements to maintain aging infrastructure and meet regulatory requirements. SaskWater's revenues from the sale of water have not kept pace with the rising costs of supplying water and as a direct result the rates must be adjusted.


A Frequently Asked Questions brochure with additional information for SaskWater's direct customers affected by the increase is posted below. As well, an Information For Residents brochure has been developed to help SaskWater's municipal and rural pipeline association customers explain the adjustment to their customers.
