Prince George City Council gave the final reading and adopted a pair of bylaws surrounding the City’s new stormwater utility and reserve at this week’s meeting.
This approach also provides the opportunities for incentives to reduce this fee, such as rain barrels or other credit programs.
Previous staff reports have stated they will be working on a credit or incentive program this year.
In October 2025, City Council chose to implement the fee in a phased approach.
Under this approach, Council directed administration to begin charging charging all properties on January 1st, 2027 at less than the full funding level with phased increases over two years.
This would start with a charge of $103.15 per Equivalent Resident Unit (ERU) of 304 metres squared in 2027, with an increase to $143.01 in 2028, and an increase to $182.86 in 2029.
