Water and sewer bills will be rising for residents and businesses in Brighton.
On Tuesday, Brighton council approved water/sewer rates for the next 10 years.
As of April 1, the average residential water/sewer customer will pay just over $1,100 a year
for the services, an increase of 4.5 per cent.
Then, the bill will go up between 5.1 and 7.2 per cent a year with the charge rising to over $1,800 in 2034.
Brighton is in the process of building a mechanical sewage treatment plant at a cost of $50 million.
The provincial government will pay $35 million of that total.
The number of water/sewer customers is forecast to rise from around 3,800 to about 4,400 by 2034.
