At the December 8, 2015 Council for Public Works meeting, Council approved the Water and Sewer Rates By-law 2015/62 which included a $30 per truckload fee for bulk sewage being delivered to any County of Wetaskiwin operated lagoon or dump station, which includes the Alder Flats Lagoon.
Effective January 1, 2016, costs associated with the treatment of septage is to be billed directly to Septage Haulers. Notice was sent out advising that each bulk septage load delivered to a County operated lagoon or dump station would be charged a $30 fee, for full or partial loads, collected within the County from residents. Advertisements were placed in the County pages of the Pipestone Flyer and on the County website in December 2015 advising residents of this change.
