Special tax concerning water service

To be capable of rehabilitating its water supply system and of financing a portion of its funding deficit in this area, the Ville de Montréal decided to levy a tax of $25 million in 2004 and of $20 million more, annually, until 2013. These funds are specifically earmarked for improving the water supply service.

After a 10-year period of growth, the water Fund will dispose of the $200 million it needs to rectify the water supply situation. The year 2013 will, accordingly, mark the start of a permanent self-financing water management situation for the city.

The water Fund tax will remain at the same level in 2010 as in the previous year.

 

Why establish other forms of taxation and user fees?

Other forms of taxation and user fees can only be harmonized if reliable water consumption data can be applied to setting up a tax system based on something approaching a user-pays principle.
