Water Rates

Some of you were surprised at the cost of water here in Beiseker, that was mentioned in the Mountain View Gazette article published yesterday.  Others asked me how our rates compared to other communities in Alberta.

Here's the scoop;

• Beiseker = $4.18 for one cubic metre (m³) of water (close to 220 gallons)
• Irricana = $3.00 per m³
• Hanna = $2.30 per m³
• Didsbury = $2.20 per m³
• Carstairs = $2.00 per m³
• Edmonton = $1.60 per m³  (for first 60 m³) \ $1.66 per m³  (over 60 m³)
• Calgary = $1.48  per m³
• Drumheller = $1.34 per m³
• Airdrie = $0.98 per m³
• Red Deer = $0.74  per m³

There are many others and there are even cheaper rates.  I'll post them when I find them.
