  • using the reply slip provided, which can be mailed or deposited in the mailbox at the Town Hall (17200 Hymus Blvd)
  • or online, by filling out the form below

I consent freely and knowingly to have all the information I have provided to the Town retained in accordance with the required security standards and the Town's retention rules.

Water Tariff

All buildings in Kirkland are equipped with water meters that register drinking water consumption. For residential buildings, the base rate for the current year and any excess consumption for the previous year are added to the annual municipal tax invoice.

The water tax for multi-family, industrial and commercial properties is invoiced separately, twice a year.

How do I read my water meter?

Water meters are generally located in basements near the main water entry or in the garage. The meter has a lid that must be opened to take the reading of the numbers, which are arrayed like those on a car odometer.

Some water meters are calibrated in gallons gallons of water consumed, while homes built since the year 2000 have meters which measure cubic meters (m3). To assist you in recording the correct meter reading, three different types of water meters are illustrated below, along with the corresponding correct recording of the reading on the reply slip:

Rockwell meter, in gallons

Rockwell meterThese meters record full gallons only, NO DECIMAL POINTS. They have a permanent 0 printed on the meter. This 0 must also be recorded on your reply slip.

Reading :

Neptune meter, in gallons

Neptune meterThese meters record full gallons only, NO DECIMAL POINTS. They have a permanent 0 printed on the meter. This 0 must also be recorded on your reply slip.

Lecomte meter, in cubic metres

Lecomte meterThese meters record cubic metres using decimals, which are generally in the black squares on the meter. On the form, you must record the figures in the white squares before the decimal point and fill in the black squares with the figures after the decimal point.
