Your monthly Utilities bill includes charges for water, wastewater and garbage. Located under Olds’ streets, homes, businesses and parks there are millions of dollars’ worth of water, wastewater, gas and electrical infrastructure. Part of your utilities payment goes toward maintaining the Town-owned portions of this immense and complex network. Your water and wastewater consumption (actual or estimated usage) are added to these base charges.
Utilities bills are mailed monthly. If you allow your account payments to lapse, you will be charged a penalty of 1.5% of the combined balance per month. Services may be disconnected after 30 days following the date of billing on unpaid accounts. Reconnection will take place once arrears are paid, plus a charge of $50.
