2018-2020 Rate Application

​​Overview

On November 17, 2017, EPCOR Water (West) Inc. (EPCOR) filed an application with the BC Comptroller of Water Rights to set water rates for the 2018 – 2020 period. This application is currently under review by the BC Comptroller of Water Rights.

How rates are set

• EPCOR submits an application for the proposed rates to the BC Comptroller of Water Rights for review and approval. Please see below for a copy of the application and associated documents.

• As with the previous rate application filed in 2014, the 2018-2020 rate application covers a three-year period.
• The BC Comptroller of Water Rights reviews the forecast costs and proposed rates in a regulatory process.
• This process provides opportunity for customer input.
