Not long ago I was a municipal councillor. I sat on the public works department for the region of Halton and for the City of Burlington. Halton Region looked after water and waste water. In our community in the region of Halton, water and waste water have for a long time had charges on our tax bill to cover costs--not only the costs of the actual sewage and sewage plants and use of water, but also, through an additional charge, the costs of replacing cast iron water mains. That is virtually all done now.
What is your group's position on the responsibility of municipalities to charge their customers or their clients or their constituents the actual real costs, replacement costs, of the water and waste water services they're using?
