Excess water usage charges.

Gordon from Halswell

Is this still in force this year?
If it is, is the 700lt figure still applicable or did they review it?

ANNOUNCEMENT: We are no longer a drop off point for Over the top recycling - Milk bottle tops. Neith has an overwhelming number of milk bottle tops at present and is travelling next year. So the decision has been made to cease collections for the foreseeable future.
We have also had several bags of "recycle-able products" left at the front door over the last few months. While I'm sure someone means well, we do NOT collect these and they fill our yellow bin.

Welcome to the second of this series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with organising and decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

This time we are tackling one of the more challenging aspects of downsizing – what to do with gifts and heirlooms. Whether you need to free up space in your own home or are helping someone else to downsize, this is a task that can feel daunting and emotionally charged.
