Can't remember what the water rates are now but about $200 for the year I think so yes, way cheaper.

Congratulations beth and Andrew..good salary.
I am also well pleased as my future boss has just told me that his Podiatrists are grossing about $2500 dollars a week at the moment.
£2500 dollars a week. Yes, please. Maybe I will get that house in Trinity Beach after all!!
