Dear Friends,
I'm sure some of you are aware that Australia is currently in the
midst of its severest drought ever - probably climate change - and we
are using our water very wisely.
Here in Ballarat, which is 90,000 people, we only have about 8 months
water remaining, and there doesn't seem to be any rain on the horizon.
Yesterday I received my 3 monthly bill for water and thought it would
be most interesting to learn about the costs in other states and
countries. My own usage was the lowest I've ever managed, for which I
am pleased. However, in this Bill for $122, the actual charge for
water volume used is only $4-29 - all the rest is charges for water
connection and waste water access fee. So I am assuming that even if
they double the cost of our water, which is in fact predicted, my
bill would only increase by a further $4.
I look forward to any interested replies about your won situations.
David in Ballarat
