Water and Wastewater Rate Study
As part of this commitment, in 2020 the City undertook a comprehensive review of the current rates and rate structure for the delivery of water and wastewater services to Vaughan residents and businesses. The study’s outcome, presented to Council in April 2021, validated the City’s current methodology for the water and wastewater rate structure.
