Water Charges
The requirements of Best Practice Pricing for water include having one price for both residential and non-residential consumers and acquiring 25% of income from fixed charges and 75% of income from consumption charges.
In a concerted effort to meet these requirements the Council adopted a pricing path in the 2005/2006 Management Plan that included a 5 year phase in period for the non-residential charges to reach the same level as the residential charge in 2010.
Where a property has multiple meters the property is only charged for the single largest meter until the end of the phase in period. This will allow consumers with multiple meters time to assess the need for each meter and whether they can reduce the number of meters and therefore the fixed charge.
