Water Utility & Services

Water Bylaw & Rates

The purpose of the Water Utility Levy Bylaw is to provide for the regulation of water supply for the City of Wetaskiwin. Current water rates are contained within the bylaw. Please refer to our Bylaws page for additional information.

Utility Billing

Utility invoices are received monthly at every account holder's mailing address. These invoices are currently only sent out in paper form through the mail, however, the City is working on an e-billing option. More details will be shared on that in the near future.

Your utility bill is due upon receipt. The City gives customers a short grace period in which to pay without penalty between when the invoice is received and the beginning of the next month when penalties are applied to accounts with an outstanding balance.

Water Master Plan

The City of Wetaskiwin has engaged Associated Engineering to undertake an update of the Water Master Plan, which was last updated in 2014. The City is seeking to implement a proactive approach to address the City’s aging infrastructure by updating the water model and Water Master Plan. The City requires a plan which clearly identifies and prioritizes necessary upgrades to the existing distribution system to meet the desired level of service. The Master Plan will also identify potential servicing concepts for future growth areas to help guide future development.

  • Provide the City with an updated and calibrated stormwater model; 
  • Identify existing system deficiencies and opportunities for repairs or system improvements; 
  • Provide a future stormwater management plan for future developments; and 
  • Provide estimated upgrading costs.
