Bill Definitions
Consumption
  • The cost of water used based on the recorded volume passing through the water meter (current reading minus previous reading).
  • The volume used is displayed in the consumption history box in the bottom left on the line labeled "current".
  • The monies collected are for the operational cost of the water treatment process.
  • Cost = volume x $1.7904/m³
Sewage Treatment Charges
  • The cost of sewage used based on the recorded water volume passing through the water meter (current reading minus previous reading).
  • The monies collected are for the operational cost of the sewage treatment process.
  • Cost = volume x $2.6249/m³
Meter Service Charge

For both water and sewer:

  • If your billing says "basic service charge" then your water meter size is less than 25mm (1").
  • All other accounts state the size of the meter.
  • A minimum service charge applies to all accounts.
  • This revenue is used for operating the main infrastructure (plant building, trunk lines). Our systems require a minimum amount of revenue in order to keep our operations in readiness for your service requirements.
  • Cost = meter size rate x # of billing months.
