Water And Wastewater Prices From 1 July 2023

Central Highlands Region Water Corporation has resolved to set the following water and wastewater tariffs, fees and charges for the period commencing 1 July 2023 and continuing until notice is given of a new tariff. The tariffs, fees and charges are normally due for payment no later than 28 days after the date of issue for the notice. Payment of the accounts can be made at any of the Corporation's offices or by any means described on the account. Late payment of any amount due may bear interest at the prescribed rate as set in accordance with the Water Act (1989) as from the date due until the amount is paid.

Basis of Calculation: Access Fee: The appropriate Access Fee indicated below is divided by 366 days then multiplied by the number of days in the billing period.

Water Volume Charge: A two tiered tariff pricing structure applies to all residential customers to encourage sustainable water usage. The two tiered tariff charges a higher rate per kilolitre as water consumption increases from tier one to tier two. To calculate the water volume charge: The water usage component of the bill is determined by the number of kilolitres used. A two tiered tariff pricing structure will be applied, based on water consumption. The threshold between the two tiers is calculated on a daily basis and is charged on a tricycle basis. Tier 1: 0 - 0.478 kilolitres (0 - 478 litres). Tier 2: 0.479 kilolitres plus (479 litres plus). Unmetered supplies will be charged an assumed consumption of 150 kilolitres per annum. Wastewater Volume Charge: Non residential disposal charges will be calculated on the volume of water recorded by the meter installed on the water service pipe which is then multiplied by the appropriate discharge factor. The calculated wastewater volume exceeding the allowance (180 kilolitres per annum) during the financial year is multiplied by the appropriate tariff per kilolitre.

The State Government provides concessions for holders of concession cards and not-for-profit organisations. Assistance may also be available through the Utility Relief Grants Scheme and Central Highlands Water’s Customer Assistance Programs.

Waterways Charge $64.88 per annum.

This charge is collected on behalf of Melbourne Water, who use the funds to look after rivers and creeks and manage drainage and floodplains in your area.
