Oxford County's water and wastewater rates aim to achieve full cost recovery while promoting customer control and water conservation measures. All customers are charged monthly fixed-service fees for water and wastewater that increase based on meter size, plus a volumetric charge for consumption. 

Fixed rates are calculated annually, considering water and wastewater system expenses, revenue forecasts, and capital renewal contributions, including funds to reserve for future repairs and maintenance based on the county's asset management plan annual capital requirements. Consumption rates are adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Water rates cover the costs of distribution, treatment, quality control, source water protection, administration and general overhead. Wastewater rates cover the costs of collection, treatment and general overhead. These rates ensure the sustainability of each system, generating sufficient and consistent revenues to pay for the past, current and future water and wastewater services delivery costs.

Starting April 1, 2017, the monthly Community Servicing Assistance Program (CSAP) fee has been suspended. The CSAP fee was developed to provide financial assistance to existing landowners where municipal water and sewers have been extended to replace private water and wastewater systems.

Existing customers were charged $10.00 per-water service and $10.00 per wastewater service per year.

While CSAP assistance funding remains available on approved projects, until the reserve balance is fully depleted, the charge has been suspended from water and wastewater bills.

The charge for construction water will be based upon the lateral pipe size leading to the property, and include an assumption of 15m3 of consumption per month.

Construction water charges will begin after an approved property line inspection. Once the property has a water meter and ERT installed, the charges will be changed to the metered charges for water and wastewater. Billing information is to be provided to the County when scheduling a property line inspection.

This charge will be effective for all properties under construction whose property line inspection occurs after January 1, 2021.
