Tax increase of 3.4% caused by, among other things:
The NCC’s valuation challenge, which creates more than $560,000 of uncertainty in PILT revenues, plus the $54 000 legal and evaluation fees to be assumed by the Municipality
The $255,829 increase in the share paid to the MRC des Collines-de-l’Outaouais, mainly due to the unexpected increase in fees for the processing of recyclable materials and fees for adapted and public transit.
The increase of more than 50% in snow removal contracts awarded throughout Quebec
Preventive slope stabilization work along Chelsea Creek (75% subsidized by the Government of Quebec)
Tax rate 2020
$0,7933 per $100 for residential evaluation
$1,1209 per $100 for non-residential evaluation
Concretely, this means an increase of $108 for a median property valued at $415 000.
Water and sewer system cost increase inevitable
Centre-village
The cost of the water and sewer system for the centre-village this year is close to the forecasts made at the beginning of the infrastructure project. The variance from previous years is explained by the increase in operations and maintenance expenses, which vary according to the number of homes and businesses connected to the network.
Water filtration plant
Purchase of two membrane banks to optimize production flow and reduce water losses
Replacement of parts for dosing pumps to avoid variances in the addition of chemicals
Replacement of UV lamps and probes to ensure drinking water quality
Addition of professional fees to carry out the vulnerability analysis requested by the Ministère de l’Environment
Wastewater treatment plant
Replacement of UV lamps to ensure compliance with environmental standards
Replacement of lifting chains for the efficiency and safety of workers
Farm point
The increase for the Farm Point area is due to the need to empty aerated wastewater treatment tanks, a procedure carried out every seven to eight years to ensure water quality at the tank outlets.
