Water Rates Price

Valona from Papamoa Beach

Thanks for all the replies to my previous post.
I'm surprised to see its not just me. Most of us seem to have the same problem, new meter gives between three and four times the previous charge. My last bill is $164 (May last year was $24. I believe you'll all get the same reply ie. the new meter is accurate and the old one wasn't so you were undercharged. Its hard to argue with this if they deal with us one by one. If it is true, then it seems to me that the water rate itself must be hugely inflated and as they roll out the new meters the council will be collecting much more revenue than they did previously. What do you think, Is it worth getting together to ask for a revue of the water rate and some transparency on the income generated? I am certainly not happy.
I will post this again to see if any more replies come in and would really welcome your comments and anything you hear from council.
