How to update names or addresses if the information is incorrect on statements.
Sewerage bills are mailed to the last known address of the property owner(s). Property owners who have changed their address without notifying the Town, may not have received a bill. The Town considers undelivered bills that are returned to the municipality, deemed to have been delivered.
The Town of Grand Bay-Westfield reminds residents that sewerage bills are due upon receipt. Any accounts not paid by April 1, 2025, are subject to interest on a compound basis, at the rate of 2% per month (24% per year).
Background
The Council of the Town of Grand Bay-Westfield, as part of the 2025 Budget process, approved an increase in sewer user unit rates from $370 to $380, effective January 1, 2025.
The increase for 2025 is reflective of increases in energy costs, and the need to increase the reserves held by the utility. Legislation requires utilities to be self-sustaining. Without an increase to the user rate, the system would run a deficit which does not comply with legislation.
