The City of Ottawa is considering changes to the way it bills for water, adding a base fee in addition to charging for what residents use.

The base charge would amount to about 25 per cent of the cost of the average water bill, according to the proposal.

Dixon Weir, the city's manager of drinking water services, said residents who conserve water would see their bills rise about $5, from about $28 a month to $33 a month.

Moderate consumers and high consumers would actually see their bills drop under the proposal.
