Public Information Centre for Stormwater Management Fee

Peterborough, ON – A public information centre for the Stormwater Management Fee will be held from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 5 at the Peterborough Public Library, 345 Aylmer St. N.  

The session will take place in the Friends of the Library room, located on the lower level.  

City of Peterborough staff will be on hand to answer questions about the study. A presentation on the Stormwater Management Fee and Rate Study will take place at approximately 7:30 p.m.  

In 2025, the City transitioned from funding stormwater services through the general tax levy to a dedicated fee appearing on water bills for residential and business water services customers. This interim fee, based on assessed property value, is a temporary measure to provide a more predictable funding source while a study is undertaken to consider how the fee is calculated.   

Information on the session, including the presentation, will be posted at connectptbo.ca/stormwater-funding-review.  

Residents who are unable to attend the session can submit their questions and feedback online by visiting connectptbo.ca/stormwater-funding-review.  

A feedback form can also be picked up at the May 5 public meeting, or at City Hall, 500 George St. N. The feedback form will be available until Friday, May 22, 2026.
