The City has implemented a user-pay approach for water consumption. Almost all properties in Langley City have water meters. The 2024 rates are $1.79 per cubic meter in addition to a $75 fee. Residential water meters are read annually in March and are billed on your June tax notice.
High-volume water users are billed every 2 months and are eligible for a 10% discount if the bill is paid within 30 days. The commercial water rates, after the discount, are the same as residential rates.
Sewer charges are based on 80% of the water consumption charged at $1.82 per cubic meter in addition to a $75 fee.
The 2024 single-family solid waste charge is $271.
Save On Your Water Bill
Water-saving techniques and changing your water consumption habits can help you save money!
- Tip #1: A five-minute shower uses about 114 litres of water, but you can cut that amount in half by using a high-efficiency showerhead. The same goes for a faucet aerator and low-flow toilets.
- Tip #2: Leaving the tap on while brushing your teeth uses about 90 litres of water per day. If you turn off the tap while brushing, you only use 2.25 litres, or half a gallon.
Automatic Utility Payment Plan
The City's automatic payment plan for bi-monthly utility billing allows the City to automatically withdraw the outstanding amount on the due date. This ensures you take advantage of the discount each billing cycle.
