ÒõAPPµ¼º½ Fee Increase
Effective April 1, 2024, CWB ÒõAPPµ¼º½ will be increasing our certification fees and rates for general services. The average price increase on our services and rates is 3.5%, which reflects increases in CWB ÒõAPPµ¼º½â€™s costs due in part to inflationary pressures, increased supplier costs, and resource shortages. Â
All invoices issued on or after this date will reflect this new pricing.
