A property owner who chooses not to connect immediately to a service voted in by a special majority of residents in the area, will have the option of deferring payment for the service for 15 years. Payments would begin when the owner connects to the service or sells the property, or at the end of the 15-year deferment period. Other changes will clarify applications for stand-alone service in support of alternate energy systems. We're continuing to respond to the needs of rural Yukon people. Implementation of the new policy changes is expected this spring.
Application packages reflecting the new and improved policy are now available to the public.
