Useful Information On Business Water
There are three main elements that make up your business water and waste charges:
– The water supply connection to your premises.
– Sewage and tainted water removal from your premises.
– Removal of rainwater (surface water) from your surrounding land.
Business water charges also cover the cost of treating and cleaning the water and the maintenance of the facilities and network of pipes that collect and treat your water.
Water Charges
Fixed Charge
This is calculated by the size of your water meter or by the rateable value (RV) of your premises.
Volumetric Charge
This is based on the volume of use on your premises. If you have a meter it will record the volume of water used otherwise it will be based on the rateable value (RV) of your premises.
Waste Water Charges
Fixed charge
This is the same as fixed charge for water as mentioned above.
Volumetric charge
This is a charge for the volume of tainted or used water removed from your business. It is assumed around 95% of the water that’s supplied to your premises will become waste water ( and will ‘Return to Sewer’). This is based on the volume of water recorded by your water meter or by the rateable value of the premises.
Drainage Charges
Property Drainage
This is a charge for the removal of rainwater from within the boundary of your premises into the sewerage system and is based on the rateable value of your premise.
Roads Drainage
This is a charge contributing to the removal of rainwater from public roads and footpaths that drain into the sewerage system and is based on the rateable value of your premise.
