Water rates
Just received our water rates for the coming year, wasn't really expecting it to be honest, thought you just got a bill every quarter with your usage/service costs
$863 plus usage costs on top, seems a bit steep to me

Re: Water rates
Water Residential - $200
Sewerage Residential - $524
Drainage Residential - $ 67
For a total of annual service charges of approx $800
Your water usage bill should come separately, twice a year ?
The attached examples should help.

Re: Water rates
Here in my area of Perth you pay water rates per year, mine came today too. You then also pay usage during the year which is every 6 months. I think I pay a couple of hundred dollars a year for that.

Re: Water rates
On settlement you usually have to pay the remainder of the years shire rates and water rates to your settlement agent. The itemisation on settlement would/should have had these payments on. You can pay quarterly, you pay about $10 interest but it helps spread the load. Shire rates will come soon too so expect a $1000+ for that too.

Re: Water rates
We got ours on Tuesday $1055!!! This is just the rates the water usage is billed half yearly.
Watch out for the shire rates they are due to come out next month. Last year we paid $1945!!!
Very expensive time of year unless you get a good tax refund.
