The municipal servicing standard establishes the minimum technical specification for the built environment including technical requirements for drinking water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and road infrastructure. The minimum technical requirement of infrastructure has a direct impact on the cost and reliability of future public infrastructure and development projects within the Township. There is a need to update the current municipal servicing standard supported by the following reasons: a. Good practice would see the municipal servicing standard updated every five years to keep it current and relevant; b. The building code, CSA standards and other industrial-level codes of practice have been revised during the past five years and it is necessary to re-visit the Township s standard to ensure they comply and complement; and

029 c. An update of the municipal servicing standard will allow for Council, Township staff, developer and public input into the revision process which increases engagement. The process of updating the municipal servicing standard shall include at a minimum: 1. Kick-off meeting with project team in Wellington North, Ontario; 2. Review and analysis of the Township of Wellington North s existing municipal servicing standard which is available on-line at the Township s website; 3. Review and analysis of comparable municipalities existing municipal service standards; 4. Review and analysis of Grand River and Saugeen Valley Source Water Protection Plans to ensure that the revised municipal servicing standards comply with both plans; 5. Open House for developer s and residents to come and discuss their thoughts with regards to the Township s municipal servicing standard; 6. Meeting with Township staff to review consultant s review and analysis (Items 2-4) as well as input received at open house event; 7. Presentation at Public Works Committee, then Township Council, to discuss findings of review and analysis of municipal servicing standards and input from developer open house ; 8. Public meeting with draft municipal servicing standards (optional); 9. Final draft copy of updated municipal servicing standards to Township staff for final review and comment; 10. Final copies of revised municipal servicing standards to Township staff; and 11. Finalization: Township staff will take to Council for final approval. Project deliverables due August 26, 2016 are as follows: 1. Revised Township of Wellington North municipal servicing standards in hard and electronic formats (.PDF,.CAD or similar); 2. Frequently Asked Questions Fact Sheet for Promotion and Education of revised Municipal Servicing Standards in electronic formats (.DOC,.PDF); and 3. All presentations and communication material generated as a result of this project.

056 Township of Wellington North P.O. Box 125 7490 Sideroad 7 W Kenilworth ON N0G 2E0 TO: PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MEETING OF November 17, 2015 FROM: Paul Dowber Treasurer SUBJECT: TREASURER S REPORT TR2015-22 Water and Wastewater Rate Study RECOMMENDATION THAT Report TR2015-22 being a report on the Water and Wastewater Rate Study be received; AND FURTHER THAT the Public Works Committee direct staff to issue appropriate notice and prepare a Water and Wastewater Rate by-law for the years 2016 to 2021 for consideration and approval at the December 07, 2015 Council Meeting; AND FURTHER THAT the rates within the by-law will be based on Tables from this report; AND FURTHER THAT the Public Works Committee direct staff to invite Gary Scandlan of C.N. Watson and Associates to present the finalized Water and Wastewater Rate Study at the December 07, 2015 Council meeting. PREVIOUS REPORTS PERTINENT TO THIS MATTER TR2014-11 Water and Sewer Rate Study TR2015-21 Water and Sewer Rate Study BACKGROUND Report TR2015-21 was presented to the Administration and Finance Committee on Monday October 21, 2015 outlining the information and recommendations as presented

057 by Watson and Associates for the Water and Sewer Rate Study covering the period of 2015-2021. The Administration and Finance Committee indicated: 1. A requirement for more information in regards to justification for the flat rate split between Singles/Semis and Multi-Residential 2. A requirement for information in regards to other municipalities experience in switching to Meters 3. An interest in holding the current Water and Sewer Rates for two years beyond 2015. The following is information in response to these three indications. 1. The Person Per Unit (PPU) was taken from page 114 of Wellington North s 2013 Development Charge Study (2.761 PPU for Singles and Semi-Detached). The PPU for multi-residential was taken from page 115 of the same DC study (Apartments with an average of 1.764 PPU), which is a Wellington County statistic. This information was then used to create a weighting (converting all apartments to a single detached equivalent) to determine the charge per singles, and then multiplying that charge by the % of apartments as a proportion of singles. These two pages from the DC study are enclosed as Appendix A 2. I spoke with Gordon Duff at the Town of Minto about their recent switch to Water Meters and found the following a. The Town of Minto installed meters in Palmerston during 2013 and then in Clifford and Harriston in 2014 b. He indicated that the installation of meters in commercial, retail and residential went relatively well c. They began billing in July 2015 and found that i. The billings for residential users went down ii. The billings for mid-range uses of water (such as restaurants, carwashes and spas) tripled iii. The billings for retail and commercial were higher than anticipated d. Revenue losses were higher than projected i. Their revenues for Water/Wastewater have gone down an average of $55,000 ($40,000 in Palmerston and $15,000 in Clifford and Harriston) 3. The Financial Implications below show the Rate Forecast and Average Residential Bill projection based on two years with no increase to the current flat rate structure and the proposed rates for the two tier structure, showing an increase to singles and semis and a decrease to multi-residential, based on the proportioning mentioned in item #1. This would result in a distribution of overall revenues between singles/semis and multi-residential with no increase in overall revenues for Water/Wastewater for 2016 and 2017. 2
