Sydney Water proposes lower water bills

摘要

Households will save up to $100 on their water bill each year under a proposal lodged by Sydney Water with the New South Wales Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART). Sydney Water's submission to IPART proposes to reduce customer bills while still delivering high quality services, enhance customer engagement so it can better align services to meet customer expectations and modernise regulation, so it can deliver better outcomes. The water utility estimated most households would save on their bills for the next four years. Compared with the 2015-16 average bill, residential customers would save: 1. $105 or 8.6% (for customers in single residential homes); 2. $86 or 7.9% (for customers in residential flats). Overall, of non-residential customers: 3. 43% would receive up to a 10% saving; 4. about 50% would receive a 15-17% saving, and 5. about 7% would see a 35-39% saving.
