East Hants is preparing to complete a review of our water utility rates. The review determines and sets water rates for at least the next three years. This was last done in 2017, with the last rate increase occurring on April 1, 2019.
We anticipate the new rates will come into effect on April 1, 2026, pending approval by the Nova Scotia Regulatory and Appeals Board.
A Public Hearing regarding the water utility rate review with the Nova Scotia Regulatory and Appeals Board will be held on Wednesday, February 18, 2026.
Where: Council Chambers, 15 Commerce Court, Elmsdale, Nova Scotia
Time: 10:30 a.m.
Members of the public are welcome to attend and listen to the presentation.
