The City of Regina's water and sewer budget operates on a full cost-recovery, user-pay basis. All revenue collected is used to fund the services provided and the water, wastewater and drainage systems that support service delivery. No funds are used to deliver other City services or maintain City buildings and infrastructure.
In order to maintain and improve our utility infrastructure, all customers pay a daily base charge for water, sewer and drainage, plus a charge for actual consumption. The daily base charge for water and sewer is dependent on the size of the meter installed in the home. For a standard residential home with a 5/8 or 3/4 inch meter, your 2023 daily base rates would be as follows:
- $0.96 per day for Water
- $0.74 per day for Sewer
- $0.65 per day for Drainage
