Taking into consideration Township corporate projects, the Zone 1 water meter installation, connection, and integration to the Municipal Drinking Water System is temporarily on hold until April 2021.  During this​​time, your service provider will remain Horseshoe Resort/Freed on their flat rate fee schedule. If you have already participated in the water meter installation program, no action on your part is required.  Once the water meter installation program resumes, the Township will contact those properties which require installation.

Freed Developments Horsesho​e Zone 1 Integration

Zone 1 customers are currently subject to Freed/Horseshoe flat rate user fees of $880 per year ($220 per quarter). Conversely, existing municipal water fees are outlined above and include fixed operating costs, fixed infrastructure, and variable consumption rates. All municipal water connections ​are also subject to the provisions outlined in By-law 2016-100 (Municipal Water Supply).

In addition to existing municipal water user fees, a quarterly fee of $73.47 per q​uarter ($293.89 annually) will be included with new customer billing and identified as “Zone 1 Integration Connection”. Only those customers who are impacted by the Zone 1 Integration Project will be contacted regarding meter installation and ultimate connection to the Municipal Drinking Water System.​

Alternatively, a further reduced one time payment of $7107.30 is available for those who elect to pay the full fee at the time their homes are connected to the integrated water system.
