Did you know that the average Canadian uses 10,000 litres of water each month? The Town of Bruderheim encourages residents to conserve water to lighten our impact on our watershed. One way you could do this is by mulching your lawn  -  this helps it to grow thicker, with fewer weeds and less watering required. Lawn maintenance consumes a large amount of our water supply every summer. Other ways include installing low flush toilets, turn water off while you're brushing your teeth, fix dripping faucets and check frequently for leaks.

Let's work together to improve water conservation in our community!

Rates are based on consumption, similar to other consumption-based utilities, such as gas and electricity.

• Water bills are based on consumption: the less water you use, the lower your bill will be.
• Meters are read monthly for more accurate bills.
• Consumption-based water rate systems create a fair and equitable utility rate structure that promotes water conservation.
