The biggest utility change is for the new $3.86-million North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant project, which may see Coquitlam residents pay an additional $76 next year.
Coquitlam homeowners face another $339 for property taxes and utilities next year, if council OK’s the new funding requests put forward today, Oct. 22, at its finance meeting.
The biggest utility change is for the new North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant Program, a $3.86-billion capital project handled by Metro Vancouver that will see Coquitlam residents pay an additional $76, if council OK’s a plan to dip into a contingency fund to offset the true fee of $102 for the average household.
“We need to be nimble. We need to be flexible. We need to be responsive,” Allueva said, citing the new provincial housing rules, as well as changes around accessibility and emergency management measures, that he said are creating “huge impacts on the city.” Cabral told the finance committee that staff based the 2025 draft budget on public feedback this year and created a framework to navigate the “tumultuous” fiscal waters.
Besides Allueva, the finance committee also heard presentations today from deputy CAO Michelle Hunt and the department heads for parks, planning and corporate services.
