Water Charges
Last modified: January 20, 2009 - 2:39 PM
On July 1 2005, Walcha Council adopted the new (Best Practice) Water, Sewer and Trade Waste pricing required by the NSW State Government.
Best Practice pricing provides:
- Appropriate pricing signals to enable customers to balance the benefits and the costs of their use of the services provided by Council
- For the removal of significant cross-subsidies between residential and non-residential users and
- Encourages the efficient use of water resources and protection of the environment
Under Best Practice pricing, charges for water will continue to be a combination of an access charge and a usage charge. However, the access charge will be based on the size of the water meter serving the property and the usage charge will be a two-tiered tariff with a higher cost for water use exceeding 300 kilolitres.
Further details of the Water Charges are available by downloading the Fees & Charges 2008 - 2009 located under About the Council on the side menu.
Payment of Water ChargesWater meters are read in March, June, September and December and Water Rates payments are then due in April, July, October and January.
Please note that there is no interest free period, and if payments are not received by Council on or before the due dates, interest will accrue on a daily basis on the amounts outstanding.
