Comments on: Water charges – change of advice http://www.propertyinvestor.info/property-investment-articles/water-charges-change-of-advice/5/ Andrew King Fri, 27 Aug 2010 05:10:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Josephine Pickering http://www.propertyinvestor.info/property-investment-articles/water-charges-change-of-advice/5/comment-page-1/#comment-309 Josephine Pickering Thu, 22 Feb 2007 17:02:28 +0000 #comment-309 HI Andrew, The ruling that was made in September 2003 concerning water and wastewater charges deals with Metro water. In July 2006, Manukau Water was formed. They charge water by meterage but wastewater is not a percentage of the water usage. It is charged at a fixed rate per property and billed quarterly ( on same water bill). That's $79.99 per bill plus water usage .($320 p.a per residential property). Would you say the wastewate charge is payable by tenants as well? Would appreciate your views on this? Thanks Josephine HI Andrew,
