There are three basic elements that make up your water bill: water, wastewater and drainage.
If your property has a water meter, your water and wastewater charges are based on your usage, recorded by the meter.
If you don’t have a water meter, your water and drainage charges are based on your property’s Rateable Value (RV) as held in central systems. All properties with these services are charged a fixed rate (based on your meter size) and a volumetric rate (actual usage) in addition to property and roads drainage. This means up to seven parts are shown on your bill:
1) A fixed charge for water
2) A volumetric charge for water
3) A fixed charge for wastewater
4) A volumetric charge for wastewater
5) Property drainage
6) Roads drainage
7) Trade effluent (if applicable)
