lead in your drinking water. All building owners within Regina city limits are eligible to participate in free lead testing where: The building was constructed prior to 1960 and is in a neighbourhood where other lead lines are present. Records indicate that the building is served by a known public lead service line. The public lead service line was replaced in the last five years. There are incomplete records for the public service line material (i.e. material unknown), the building was constructed prior to 1960 and the building is in a neighbourhood that has public lead service lines present elsewhere within the neighbourhood. Results are sent from the laboratory directly to the individual homeowner. We also receive the results along with the invoice. The results are not be posted or shared and will only be reported in an aggregated manner that prevents the individual properties that participated from being identified. To receive testing forms and bottles, first contact us to determine if you are eligible and provide the appropriate documents. Eligible participants will receive a laboratory requisition form by mail. Complete the form and take the form to the Roy Romanow Provincial Laboratory (RRPL) to obtain a sample kit.

The price of filters vary based on type and features. The simplest and smallest pitcher-type system may cost anywhere from $20 to $100, while a complicated and extensive below counter system may cost in the range of $1,000. You can apply for the filter rebate, which is applied as a credit to your utility bill, by filling out and supplying the application form. Water Filter Rebate The City is working to remove all lead service connections by 2036 to eliminate one key source of lead in drinking water. Replacements will be coordinated with corporate construction projects. Replacing only the City-owned portion does not solve drinking water concerns if lead plumbing materials also exist on the private side. Starting in 2022, privately-owned lead service connections will be replaced when the adjoining City-owned connection is replaced. Residents will be notified of replacement details before any construction work begins and be provided with interest-free payment options for replacement. Replacing the entire lead service connection will remove one key source of lead in your drinking water. Residents who have had the private side of their service connection replaced are eligible for free City side replacement. Property owners may request we replace the City-owned lead service connection, but the private side must be changed first. Locations where the private side is not lead will be prioritized for completion to remove the service connection source of lead and effectively reduce lead in the tap water. City-Owned Lead Connection Replacement Application Privately-Owned Lead Service Connection Replacement Financial Payment Options The City is offering property owners deferred payment options, recognizing that residents may not have planned for the cost of replacing the private side of a lead service connection. The following payment options are available to property owners: Direct payment to the contractor at the time of replacement. Five-year equalized payment plan. 10-year equalized payment plan. Five-year Equalized Payment Plan (Interest Free) The City pays the contractor on your behalf. The total cost of replacement is divided into 5 equal payments. One fifth of the total cost is added to your property taxes each year for five years, or If you are enrolled in the Tax Installment Payment Plan Service (TIPPS), the cost is spread over 60 monthly payments once the replacement has been completed. A signed agreement between the City, property owner, and contractor is required as well as a signed financing agreement with the City. Ten-year Equalized Payment Plan (Interest Free) The City pays the contractor on your behalf. The total cost of replacement is divided into 10 equal payments. ...

lation. This has resulted in the existing facility being unable to accommodate all employees, maintain functionality and efficiently deliver service. Construction of an expanded RPS facility is now underway. In November 2017, the City’s bid to purchase the Saskatchewan Transit Company (STC) bus depot/head office and parking lots for $16.25 million was accepted. The City took possession of the building on February 15, 2018. The STC building is a relatively new facility and is an ideal location (across the street from the current RPS Headquarters) to be part of a new and complete Regina Police Service Headquarters Campus to better support the police service and community. The City will invest about $44 million to complete the new RPS campus. That’s one-third of the estimated $140 million it would cost to build a new police headquarters. The RPS Campus Development involves renovations to the existing RPS Headquarters and the former STC building as well as construction of a new building that will link the two existing facilities. The link building will include a new main public entrance as well as multi-purpose and community spaces. ...
