Who would pay for future improvements to the water systems?
A. This would depend on the policy of municipal council and the nature of the improvements. The repairing of existing deficiencies would most likely be paid for by the existing properties, just as it would if municipal restructure did not occur. Expansion of capacity and the servicing of new areas could be financed by development cost charges (that is, paid for by new growth), senior government grants, and new taxes for the new areas or some combination of these.
