Water Tax

Every summer, a team goes around Pointe-Claire taking water meter readings of residential buildings (except for condos and buildings with 6 units or more) to determine the annual drinking water usage. The team then issues a bill to the building owners based on their water consumption. This pay-per-use formula promotes individual efforts focused on eco-responsible use and the preservation of this valuable natural resource.

Owners will receive their annual bill in September. The rate for 2023 is $1.11/ m³. Payment is required within 30 days.

SPVMNEW NEIGHBOURHOOD POLICE STATION IN POINTE-CLAIRE

The Station 5 team of the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) have moved into their new building this past April, which is located at 393 Saint-Jean Boulevard.

The building was designed and built in height to limit the ground layout and preserve the adjacent forest as much as possible. Access to the building for visitors is universally accessible so all can easily obtain services.

Citizens needing to get there will find the building at the corner of Saint-Jean Boulevard and Civic-Center Avenue, near the old building.

Codered System Test

Thursday, June 1 starting at 6 p.m.

The City will conduct a test of the CodeRED call system to allow everyone to become familiar with it. This automated emergency call service allows the City to reach registered citizens, whether for emergency alerts or general notices. The database contains all non-confidential landline numbers on the territory of Pointe-Claire as of November 2022, as well as all numbers entered using the online form. The test will be sent out at 6 p.m. There may be a delay in receiving the call, up to 6:30 p.m., depending on phone line availability.

What happens if you don't answer a CodeRED call?

• If you have voicemail, the system leaves a message.

• Otherwise, the system will call you back at least three times in a 15-minute interval.

• If by 6:30 p.m. you have not received the CodeRED test call, please register at pointe-claire.ca/en/codered/
