Lakefield - Water & Sewer Billing

• Residential: Flat-rate accounts will be sent every 2 months by the 8th of the month and will be due on the 28th of the month. 
• Industrial, commercial, institutional: Metered accounts will be sent every month by the 8th of the month and will be due on the 28th of the month.

Reminder notice will be issued for balances over $10.00.

Penalty is charged at the rate of 10% on default.

Unpaid Water & Sewer balances over $25.00 will be added to the Property Tax account and collected like taxes if they remain unpaid 10 days past the date of the reminder notice.

Tenants can request that the Water & Sewer Invoice be created in their name using the Lakefield Water and Sewer: Account Changes form. 

When Township staff receive this form, they contact the registered property owner to have them complete an authorization form allowing us to create the account on behalf of their tenant.

Ownership changes:

If the registered owner of a property changes, the new owner will need to complete the owner authorization form for existing tenant: this ensures they understand the implications of unpaid bills.

Tenant Change:

When a tenant moves out, they will need to complete the Lakefield Water and Sewer: Account Changes form.

When a new tenant moves in, they will need to complete the Lakefield Water and Sewer: Account Changes form and the owner will need to complete the owner authorization form for the new tenant. If there is a time between the tenants, the bill will revert to the owner.

Water & Sewer Invoices will be payable by pre-authorized payment plan, online/telephone banking, cash, debit, cheque, or credit card through PaySimply. For details, please see our Payment Options and Information page.
