Residents & Property Owners of the MD of Pincher Creek and Cowley
Your input is invaluable, and we want to hear from you!

 
The MD is proposing changes to utility bylaw rates for all customers of water and wastewater systems in the MD of Pincher Creek. These changes are crucial as they directly affect the community. The primary reason for the changes to the MD's utility (water, sewer, waste) billing is the increasing gap between the MD's utility revenue and operational costs.
 
The MD's utilities have historically brought in less revenue than the expenses required for operation. This gap has increased in recent years as new systems have come into service with minimal changes to utility billing. Municipalities typically attempt to recover a significant portion (or all) of water and sewer operations costs and reserve contributions through utility bills. Tax revenues are covering the MD's financial gap.
 
An amendment to Utility Bylaw 1344-22 must be passed before any changes go into effect. The MD anticipates putting forth an amended bylaw in Spring 2025 after gathering feedback from utility customers through a survey and an Open House.
 
Open House is scheduled for Thursday, February 20, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. at Lundbreck Hall
