10 ANIMAL CONTROL
The Town’s Animal Control Bylaw dictates that an owner of an animal is guilty of an offence if:
• the animal is not licensed • barking or howling disturbs others • the animal causes property damage • the animal is in an area where a sign prohibits pets • the animal bites, attacks, barks at or threatens a person or another animal • the animal defecates on property not belonging to the owner, and the defecation is not immediately removed and disposed of in a sanitary manner
Dog and cat owners are ultimately responsible for their pets. Please, respect your neighbors, take proper care of your pets and limit yourself to what you able to handle. Your neighbors have a right to peace and quiet in their homes and to be able to walk the streets and trails without being annoyed or frightened.

RAVENS If you can’t beat ‘em, enjoy ‘em! You can’t help but notice the ravens in and around Fairview. They are as much a part of our daily round as the people on the street. The Common Raven has been much maligned because of its scavenging nature. However, research has shown that ravens do far more good than harm. They are long-lived birds that may reach 50 years of age. All ravens are intelligent, inquisitive and friendly. They can be taught human speech and can learn how to count. There are countless stories about the antics of ravens. BUT...they are scavengers. On the one hand, ravens clean up debris on our streets and alleys. On the other hand, they rip open garbage and grocery bags and leave a mess. This problem can be easily resolved by using metal or plastic garbage and recycling containers. Make sure the cover fits tightly over your containers. Plastic bags, even when twist-tied, do not stop ravens, dogs or any other scavengers. Do not leave food, garbage or animal carcasses in yards or in the back of pick-up trucks. Using a few common-sense measures to alleviate the “annoying” activities of ravens will allow us to sit back and enjoy the intelligent, spectacular and, sometimes humorous show they put on for us.

21 Town Utility Bills
Your utility bills are mailed out at the beginning of each month (for the previous month’s consumption). New radio frequency meters have been installed in about 85% of the households and businesses. Our meter readers can now read all the meters each month to give you an actual consumption for said month.
This year your water charge is $2.95 per cubic meter of water used and we have gone back to a flat rate for our Capital Replacement fee. There are no more minimum usage rates. You pay for the water you use. We have also gone back to just the fixed rate for your sewer line.
If your bill is exceedingly high, check your toilet(s), faucets, humidifiers, icemakers and outdoor taps for leaks. If you have a new radio frequency meter we can take a reading of the data from the meter and tell you when you had a leak, how long the leak was, and how much water went through the meter during the leak. We cannot tell you where the leak is.
The current utility bylaw may be viewed online at www.fairview.ca
