Estimated Water Readings
Council has had to estimate some water meter readings included in this levy due to an obstruction, vegetation, a locked fence or a dog on the premises. To ensure your next reading is not estimated please make access to the property available during April/May 2024 as per the Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008 - Sect 37.
