City of Nanaimo Increases Fines for Water Use Violations and Vandalism
The City of Nanaimo has updated its fines for damaging water infrastructure, with the council passing three readings of a bylaw to increase penalties for the first time in nearly 20 years.
According to city documents, Nanaimo has experienced increasing vandalism and tampering with water infrastructure, including turning on fire hydrants without permission and rendering them inoperative.
“As a deterrent, the city is looking to compare itself to other communities and increase its fines for tampering with such assets to match what other municipalities are doing,”said Sheila Gurrie, director of legislative services.
The new schedule of fines and penalties aims to address the rising incidents of vandalism and tampering, which have included hooking up to fire hydrants without a permit to get free water.
