There are properties in Edmonton — residential and commercial — that are using Edmonton’s stormwater and drainage services but are not being billed for them.
“This is about an equitable charging of stormwater,” said Susan Ancel, director of water planning at EPCOR. “The way rates are set is there’s a revenue requirement, and then that gets spread amongst the customers who are in billing. So, the more customers in billing, that reduces the cost for everybody.”report to the utility commission Monday, EPCOR
“Utilities have far more rigor and pay far more attention to making sure everybody pays an amount that is driven by an arithmetic algorithm and that there’s no changes to that, that it’s fair to everyone because utilities are very heavily regulated,” the councillor explained. “You make sure that you don’t overcharge or undercharge by even a single penny when you operate a utility. City departments are more inclined to be a little looser on those things.
“When the stormwater utility was first created about 20 years ago, the billing system was not able to bill unless you had a water or sewer account at that time. So, that was the direction of council 20 years ago. It was never brought back to council to talk about the other parcels.”
