The Town of Riverview has held the line on municipal taxes after formally approving a $28.4 million operating budget for 2018.
However, water and sewer rates will be going up next year by about $29 for the average household.
A provincial freeze in property tax assessments next year will mean a loss of $300,000 for the town.
Mayor Ann Seamans admits this was a challenging year but the budget keeps the town on a path of fiscal responsibility.
Capital investments include reconfiguring the Gunningsville Bridge and Coverdale Road intersection amid work on the Causeway and a six month shutdown expected in 2020.
This project depends on a financial contribution from the province.
The town also intends to carry out various water and sewer improvements and will continue to make upgrades to the Byron Dobson Arena.
