Water/Sewer Billing - Buying a home? Something you need to know...

Transfer of Property Ownership

Please be aware, that when ownership of property is transferred, the buyer's Real Estate lawyer must contact Horizon Utilities to provide the relevant property transfer information and to request a final water meter read be completed. Ensure it is an actual read and not an estimate. Click here for our customer service contact information.

In doing this, it ensures all parties are aware of any outstanding water and wastewater balances, and compliance issues regarding the Water Works By-law R84-026, such as the replacement of obsolete equipment.

Failing which, all past outstanding balances and property Water Works By-law compliance issues are transferred with the property and become the responsibility of the buyer.
