Cheap Water Bill
Just had our water bill today $42.00 for 3 and a half months, for a family of 5 who run 2 showers, baths, dishwasher and washing machine- it seems a bit cheap to me! I have checked the meter and it goes round when we run the tap. We have only used 120 units since we moved in!!

Ours was $97 last quarter, 3 bathrooms, a teenager who thinks water comes out of the sky, garden to keep green and a pool to keep full, although we still stayed under the water advised limit. 57 kl at $1.70 per kilolitre in 3 months. |
Re: Cheap Water Bill
I still am surprised at how cheap water bills are here despite the ongoing threat of drought and lack of water.
However, my 6 monthly charge for water averages $50, F**k all. We are 65%below the average for the suburb we live and we don't know why. My bore pump failed a few weeks ago, so I have now repaired that and brought it back on line, but as it is winter I won't use it. I'll use mains/shire water for my vegy garden as it will be cheaper than running my pump. |

I don't know why it is so low, we moved rental property at the end of Jan this Year, but where we were before we paid about $175 a quarter, so this one seems really low!!

Re: Cheap Water Bill
Your previous bill was pretty high. I got ripped off when I lived in Carnarvon, and had to claim the money back when I moved house and realised it was too high. As I was new to Australia I just assumed this was the going rate.
Im paying around $90 for Wandina, and have 4 kids (including a son nearly 18yr old who likes to shower for half and hour:eek:) Gems |

Re: Cheap Water Bill
$220 - $250 a quarter here for water and sewage - just the two of us with occasional visitors use tank water for watering the garden and drinking. ACT is very expensive water-wise!!!

Our rates are $150 a quarter then we get around $20 to $30 on top of that which is actual water usage. This amazed me when I first got here as absolutely no financial incentive for using less water |

$ 97 Water usage $ 58 Access $162 Sewerage $317 Total Redland Council, QLD Rates A tenant would only pay the $97 part of that. ACT should be $89.55 per annum supply charge Using ACT rates my bill would have been:$1.95 per kL for the first 548 litres supplied on average per day of the billing period plus, $3.90 per kL for all water supplied in excess of 548 litres on average per day of the billing period. $128.26 Usage $ 17.91 Access $121.10 sewerage $267.27 total ACT rates NSW would be $106.59 Usage $ 25.38 Access $125.27 Sewerage $257.24 total NSW Rates Although our actual water usage charge in Redlands is cheaper, we get hammered on the sewerage and access charges. |
