Metro Vancouver is considering waiving fees to get developers to build more affordable rental housing.

The fees help cover the cost of connecting new developments to water and sewer infrastructure.

Six of 19 municipalities already have bylaws that waive or reduce development cost charges.

New provincial housing legislation enables all municipalities to increase zoning for affordable housing.

Federal government commits $250 million to design Iona wastewater treatment plant upgrade.
