There has been alot of talk recently about water and whether the large industrial customers aren't paying what they should.
The City's Finance Commissioner Greg Yeomans has heard it as well but points out the Irving Oil Refinery is paying bylaw rates for 80 plus per cent of its water. Yeomans says the refinery uses 20 per cent of the city's water which is treated with chlorine and, as such, is the same as that used by homeowners.
Irving Pulp and Paper uses 60 per cent of the city's water and gets it untreated from Spruce Lake.
