Parrsboro Sewer Rate
- Details
- Published: Friday, 17 May 2019 11:06
Last year construction was completed for the expansion of the Parrsboro sewage collection system and new sewage treatment plant. The total cost of this project was $12.675 million dollars. Sixty-five percent of the total cost was paid for by Provincial and Federal Grants, leaving $4.4 million to be paid for by the residents in the service area. This amount was borrowed in the fall of 2018 and will be recovered from the residents in the service area over the next 20 years.
This year the sewer rate for the Parrsboro sewage collection and treatment system has increased from $300 per unit to $957 per unit. This increase was required to cover the additional operating cost of the treatment facility as well as to cover the annual debt payments.
Every property fronting the sewage collection system in Parrsboro, regardless of if they are connected, is assessed a sewer charge, as per the existing bylaw.

In our last update we advised that during the commissioning process operators had become concerned with the reliability of the chlorine injection system and that a replacement chlorine skid was ordered, under warranty, by the supplier. This equipment has arrived, is installed and has been commissioned.
You may have noticed municipal employees around the village in the last few days as flushing the lines of the water system has been taking place. Due to the flushing, you may notice water on your lawns, driveways, etc. The flushing is one of the last steps prior to taking the water system LIVE!
The next update you receive will contain information and instructions regarding connecting to the water system!
Our staff and contractors want to thank all the residents for their patience as they worked toward the completion of providing safe, potable water to the residents of Pugwash and surrounding areas.
