Water and Sewer

[MidTowner]

There is no connection fee in Kitchener, but the minimum charge effectively serves as one- it's usually termed a reserve charge for water in other jurisdictions.

Quite possibly we should have a flat reserve charge or connection charge to reflect the basic maintenance needed that has no relation to the amount of water carried. I think that, if so, it should be based on frontage, to reflect the extra infrastructure some properties require over others.
