What City of Selkirk does

The City of Selkirk is a municipal government entity in Manitoba, Canada, serving approximately 10,504 residents (2021 census) within its city boundaries. It delivers the standard suite of municipal services through direct-to-citizen channels: a potable Drinking Water System, a $40 million Membrane-Bioreactor (MBR) Wastewater Treatment Plant commissioned in 2021 that exceeds provincial effluent standards, curbside Recycling and Waste Collection, Parks and Recreation programming, Public Transportation via the non-profit Selkirk Transit Authority, Planning and Development Services, and By-law Enforcement. The City operates Citizen-facing digital infrastructure including the MySelkirk online portal and the MySelkirkConnect mobile app alongside the Civic Office at 200 Eaton Avenue.

Its underlying technology backbone is the Capital Asset Management Program (CAMP) — established in 2014 and codified by By-law 5300 in 2017 — which catalogs more than 6,600 municipal assets across road surfaces, water mains, sewer mains, facilities, vehicles, and heavy equipment, with up to 30 characteristics per asset and predictive modeling for long-range maintenance planning. Supporting infrastructure includes 72.89 km of roadways, 54.1 km of sanitary sewers, 23 km of storm sewer lines, and a water treatment plant that transitioned to fossil-fuel-free operation in 2023. Water quality was recognized as 2nd best in Western Canada at the 2018 Western Canada Water Conference.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams rather than a single mechanism: annual Property Taxation (primary, billed in June with a July 31 due date), Quarterly Utility Billing for water and wastewater at $2.98 per cubic meter as set by the Public Utilities Board, transit fares and sponsorships combined with provincial funding, licenses and permits (dog licensing is free, building and business permits are fee-based), Waste Transfer Station tipping fees ($3.50 garbage tags, scaled load fees), Bulk Water Sales at the Water Tower, and Provincial Government Transfers from the Province of Manitoba (which funds 50% of transit and contributes to infrastructure grants). Customers include residents, local business owners, property owners, and visitors; the City exited the Red River Planning District in 2022 and brought planning and building permitting in-house.

City of Selkirk competitors and assessment

Company assessment

Broad incumbents

EPCOR Utilities: Large Canadian municipal utility operating water, wastewater, and electricity services across multiple jurisdictions. While much larger and multi-city, comparable for water-treatment technology choice, regulatory rate-setting exposure, and infrastructure-asset valuation frameworks.
American Water Works Company: Largest US investor-owned water and wastewater utility. Although geographically and structurally different (public vs. private, US vs. Canada), it offers a relevant valuation benchmark for regulated water/wastewater rate base and treatment-plant replacement economics.

Direct peers

Town of Kenora: Small Ontario municipality (~15,000 residents) delivering municipal water, wastewater, and transit services. Useful peer for benchmarking small-municipality utility economics and tourism-oriented service demand.
City of Steinbach: Growing Manitoba city (~15,000+ residents) operating under identical provincial legislation with similar water, wastewater, transit, and recreation service lines. Comparable for operational scale and growth-trajectory benchmarking.
City of Yellowknife: Canadian northern capital city (~20,000 residents) with similar water, sewer, transit, and waste services. Comparable for remote/regional utility operations and capital-asset-management practice.
City of Thompson: Northern Manitoba city of comparable population (~13,000) delivering the same suite of municipal services under Manitoba provincial jurisdiction. Useful peer for cold-climate operational costs and northern infrastructure investment patterns.
City of Dryden: Small northwestern Ontario municipality (~7,500 residents) operating water, sewer, transit, and recreation services under similar small-city economics. Comparable for capital intensity per resident and limited-rate-base dynamics.
City of Brandon: Second-largest Manitoba city (~50,000 residents) offering the full municipal service portfolio under the same provincial regulatory regime. Comparable for asset management practices, transit operations, and water/wastewater utility economics.
City of Portage la Prairie: Manitoba city of comparable size (~13,000 residents) providing the same municipal service portfolio — water, sewer, transit, recreation, and planning. Highly relevant comparable for service mix, regulatory regime (PUB water rates), and provincial funding dynamics.
City of Whitehorse: Yukon capital city (~28,000 residents) providing the same municipal service mix including water, wastewater, and transit. Relevant peer for cold-climate infrastructure capex and asset management scale.
