2021 Proposed User Fees for Langley City Water, Sewer, and Garbage Services

January is when Langley City’s annual budget, property tax rates, and user fees work their way through the council approval process. On Monday, City Council gave first, second, and third reading to three bylaws related to 2021 user fees.

The Metro Vancouver Regional District is making significant investments in our region’s water and sewer systems. Langley City buys water and sewer services from the regional district. These investments are one of the reasons why user fees are increasing in Langley City this year.

The sewer user fee is increasing by 6¢ to $1.33 per cubic metre. The flat fee of $75 per year remains unchanged. The average annual cost for a single-family homeowner will be $426.12, which increases by $15.84 from 2020. The average annual cost for a strata homeowner will be $277.16, an increase of $9.12 from 2020.

The water user fee is increasing by 9¢ to $1.44 per cubic metre. The flat fee of $75 per year remains unchanged. The average annual cost for a single-family homeowner will be $550.20, which increases $29.70 from 2020. The average annual cost for a strata homeowner will be $348.60, which increases by $17.10 from 2020.

If you receive curbside garbage collection services from the city, your fee will increase by $6 to $210 annually.
