Water Rates

Julia from Avondale

Hi everyone
I have a question or two??? How does one read a water rates bill? I rent and i tell you what. I have had varying accounts of water bills. I can't seem to get my head around them. I think i do need to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. I have asked my property manager to please explain and don't really get much sense from there. I do know that the fixed amount is paid by the Land Lord. But the rest is mumbo jumbo to me. It tends to go up and down like a yo yo. I also know that the water meter is read and estimated. But what i have a problem with is that watercare in doing so helps themselves when its estimated to quite a bit of your funds which i think that they think that you have a money tree out back specially for them and charge you heaps and then the next thing you know you go into credit??? what the hack. Credits fine but they have my money. What do you guys think and who can figure this thing out for me. Thanks all. Julia

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
