Port Hawkesbury Considers Water Utility Rate Increase for Landrie Lake
Port Hawkesbury is evaluating a proposed rate increase of 10.6% to 10.9% for the Landrie Lake Water Utility, affecting local industries. This review follows a public hearing on May 20 and aims to address the absence of rate adjustments since 2022.

The Town of Port Hawkesbury is awaiting feedback on a proposed rate increase for the Landrie Lake Water Utility, affecting industrial clients in the Point Tupper area. A public hearing was held on May 20, with the proposed increase set between 10.6% and 10.9%, possibly adjusted based on input from the Nova Scotia Regulatory and Appeals Board.
This proposal comes after a rate study was last conducted in 2020, with no rate changes since 2022. The introduction of a new customer, EverWind Fuels, may also impact future rates. The potential implications for the Port Hawkesbury Water Utility remain uncertain, necessitating further analysis of how costs could evolve.
