Rates
The average household water bill is approximately $180 per quarter. This provides approx 70 cubic metres (equivalent to 17,500 four-litre containers) of quality drinking water delivered right to your tap.
The bill also includes the cost for collection and treatment of all household sewage. The quarterly charge includes a fixed component (base rate) and a usage or variable component (consumption rate). The revenue generated from the sale of water to our customers is used to maintain, upgrade and replace water and sewer assets, including transmission and distribution mains, Turtle Creek Reservoir operations, treatment facilities, pumping stations, storage tanks, hydrants, manholes, customer service lines and meters.
