Rates and Fees
The Town of Oromocto and Base Gagetown share a longstanding and unique partnership. One element of this partnership is that the Base Gagetown Water Treatment Plant and Wastewater Treatment Plant have been serving the Base and the Town since 1963 and 1954, respectively. In essence, the Base is the Town’s water supplier. Council adopted a new rate structure based on the evaluation of its infrastructure needs and the operation and maintenance costs for the next five-year period.
Water and Sewerage Utilities in Oromocto are based on water consumption and a fixed service fee billed on a quarterly basis. Our water meters are read manually each quarter, with invoices being created the 1st of February, May, August and November
- Service Fee - a quarterly service fee shall be applied to all water and sewer accounts within the Town of Oromocto. A quarterly fee of $112.50 per quarter will be implemented to help offset the maintenance, repairs, and infrastructure replacement costs for the delivery of this service.
