Utility Rates

Utility Bills are due February 29, 2024

Learn everything you need to know about utility rates, ways to pay, and how we compare to other regional municipalities in the 2024 Utilities Info Sheet.

The City of North Vancouver supplies high-quality drinking water to its residents through a complex water infrastructure system. The City’s sanitary sewer system removes sewage and delivers it to Metro Vancouver for treatment.

The costs for providing water and sewer services are reflected in your annual utility bill. The rates are based on three key factors:

  • Costs paid to Metro Vancouver for the purchase of drinking water and wastewater treatment
  • City water and sewer system operations and maintenance costs
  • Long-term investment in asset management and resilience

Every year, around half of the City’s utility fees are paid to Metro Vancouver to provide high-quality drinking water and wastewater treatment. The City uses the other half for annual operations to maintain the system and long-term investment in the utility infrastructure.


Asset Management for a Healthy & Resilient City

Public infrastructure is the foundation of a healthy and resilient community, requiring long-term planning and investment. Asset management ensures we are maintaining and replacing aging infrastructure while also investing in new systems to meet our community’s current and future needs. The City and Metro Vancouver are investing in essential utility infrastructure, including maintaining and replacing aging water and sewer mains and building a new North Shore wastewater treatment plant.
