Water and Sewers

The water system basic charge is a fixed monthly fee. It funds the Water Treatment Plant, Pump Stations, and the Distribution pipes. It also funds the Water Supply.

The amount of water used is the basis for the water systems consumption charge.

Every building in Camrose connected to the water system has a water meter. We have replaced all the water meters in Camrose with modern ones that are more accurate and use radio waves to send your water usage to Public Works every month. This system allows us to see spikes in your water usage and can then help you identify leaks or other issues that may be causing a high water bill.

Water meters are usually very accurate. Water going through the meter turns a propeller device which turns the meter. As meters age, they usually slow down, letting more water through than they measure. As a result, you get more water than you pay for. Public works can test your meter if you think it is inaccurate.
