Ottawa homeowners on city water can expect to pay more next year.
Once rates increases take effect in the spring, the average home will pay an extra $37 on their water bill, a four-and-a-half per cent increase.
That would bring the total to about $143 dollars every two months.
Pickup fees for garbage and recycling are also going up.
The solid waste fee on next year's property tax bills for single-family homes that receive curbside collection will rise by $10, while multi-residential households will see their fee rise by $15.
The section of the city budget dealing with water and waste has been approved at committee.
The full city budget heads to council for a final vote on Wednesday, December 9, 2020.
