Medicine Hat schedules public hearing on infrastructure levy

Medicine Hat has scheduled a public hearing on its off-site levy bylaw after council approval on Tuesday, part of the city’s process to update the fees paid to connect city infrastructure to new developments.

The off-site levy is a one-time payment to build payment to build the sewers and roads for a development that isn’t already serviced, explained city engineer Conrad Westerson.

“That infrastructure would include water mains, sanitary sewer lines, roads for transportation and storm sewers for specific areas tat are being developed,” Westerson said Friday.
