Excess Water Usage

Ratepayers using in excess of 50,000 cubic meters per annum are charged at $1.36 per cubic meter.

Fixed Charge

The fixed charge is like a lines charge on your electricity bill, it pays for how the water gets to your house (pipes and pumps etc.).

To find your fixed charge, go to page 293 in the 2018-2028 Long Term Plan (most communities have a fixed charge, regardless of whether they are metered or not).
