Highlight The 2024 Budget includes $106 million in 2024 for infrastructure renewal, new
construction, and maintenance of Regina’s water, wastewater and stormwater systems. Regina’s Water
Utility operates on a full cost-recovery basis and ensures Regina residents enjoy safe and reliable
water, wastewater and drainage services. In 2024, utility customers will see a 3% increase to the
base utility rate and 4% on the consumption-based utility rate. Changes to Utility Bill In 2022,
City Council approved a new approach to funding waste services such as garbage, recycling, food and
yard waste collection. These services will now be funded by a user fee on the utility bill, meaning
garbage collection will no longer be funded by property taxes. This portion of the mill rate will
be removed from property taxes and customers will see this new Waste Charge beginning January 1,
