Water and Sewer

[kps]

This is regressive, though it's so low that it probably only impacts properties vacant for much or all of the billing period, and very few single person households. It is conceivable that a single person in a very small unit would use as little as 3.1 cubic metres a month, though, and that person would be penalized for using that little. His or her extremely modest usage on the basic necessities would be charged a higher rate than someone filling up his hot tub.

I hit that when I lived in Kitchener. Daily shower/bath, toilet, and hand-washed dishes come out comfortably below the minimum charge. (I didn't have laundry, water softener, etc.)
