Fort Chipewyan

Properties in Fort Chipewyan are connected to municipal water and sewer lines but are not metered. Currently, residents are charged fixed fees for water and sewer services at rates that are not aligned with the bylaw. Moving forward, charges will follow the bylaw.

In the past, the municipality has not been consistent in enforcing utility payments in some rural areas. As a result, some Fort Chipewyan residents have been receiving water, sewer, and curbside collection services without being billed.
