Notice of Public Information Centre: North Perth’s Stormwater Rate Study

North Perth residents are invited to attend the Public Information Centre on the proposed Stormwater Rate Study conducted by Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. to learn more about the project, ask questions and provide comments.

Date: Monday, September 15, 2025

Time: 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.

Location: Elma Memorial Community Centre, 251 Main St., Atwood, ON

What will be Discussed:

With increasing demands for stormwater management, driven by infrastructure renewal and expansion, a revision to the municipality’s funding approach for this type of essential infrastructure is needed.  

To address this, Watson and Associates Economists Ltd., have developed preliminary rate models, which will be brought forward for Council’s consideration at a later date.

The draft rate model considers expanding the existing stormwater rate, currently applied in Listowel, to include other settlement areas within the municipality, specifically, Atwood, Monkton, Gowanstown and Trowbridge. The proposed rate would apply to communities that have existing stormwater infrastructure and/or benefit from municipal stormwater management services, while also recognizing the potential need for future infrastructure improvements. By including these areas in the rate structure, the approach promotes fairness and consistency across the municipality.

We welcome your attendance at the PIC to discuss this project. If you are unable to attend the in-person Public Information Session, or would like more information on this project, please reference: www.northperth.ca/stormwatermanagement.
