    D = E / F

    where

    D
    is the rate corresponding to the estimated cost per cubic metre of water of providing sewerage services in the park for the following year,
    E
    is the estimated total cost of providing sewerage services in the park for the following year, determined under subsection (3), and
    F
    is the estimated total water volume, in cubic metres, to be provided by the park water system for the following year.
  • (3) The estimated total cost of providing sewerage services in the park in any year shall include the cost of the following:

    • (a) sewage collection;

  • (5) If the actual total cost of providing sewerage services in the park for the immediately preceding year calculated in accordance with subsection (4) differs from the estimated total cost of providing sewerage services in the park for that year, the estimated total cost of providing sewerage services in the park for the current year shall be adjusted as follows:

    • (a) if the actual total cost is greater than the estimated total cost, the difference shall be added to the estimated total cost of providing sewerage services in the park for the current year; or

    • (b) if the actual total cost is less than the estimated total cost, the difference shall be deducted from the estimated total cost of providing sewerage services in the park for the current year.

  • (6) Every owner of a lot located in any of the parks referred to in subsection (1) shall, if the lot is not connected to the park water system and the lot is served with water from another source, install a water meter, approved by the superintendent under subsection (7), to measure the quantity of water consumed from that other source for the purpose of calculating the annual sewerage charge in accordance with subsections (1) to (3).

  • (7) The superintendent shall approve any water meter that an owner proposes to install if the water meter is operational and compatible with the water metering system in the park.

  • (8) Every owner of a lot located in any of the parks referred to in subsection (1) shall, if the owner uses a septic tank or holding tank sewage system and the sewage must be removed from the lot by mechanical means and delivered to a sewage treatment plant by truck, pay a sewage treatment fee of $40 per truckload.
