Rothesay Will Compare Water Hook Up Fees To Other Cities

The Town of Rothesay will be doing a study comparing their water hook up fees to 6 other maritime cities, after one Councillor feels the town's fees are too steep.

Rothesay Councillor Peter Lewis tells CHSJ news people in the area pay a water hook up fee of $2,500 a year, while in Quispamsis it costs $750. Lewis says Rothesay could possibly be paying more since more service is provided and they're on town water.

The study will look at what other cities on town water are paying, with similar service and a comparable population size.
