Residential charges 

 

Charges for water and wastewater services effective from 1 July 2009 are:

 

 


Service Charge $79.92 per year A ‘per-day’ charge for the period covered by your bill that goes towards maintaining your account. It applies whether you use water or not.

Water $1.562 per kL These charges cover the cost of operating, maintaining, and renewing Auckland City’s pipe networks. They also cover the cost of bulk water and wastewater services provided by Watercare.
Wastewater $3.745 per kL

 All charges include GST

1 kL = 1,000 litres

 

 

As it is difficult to meter wastewater, usage is calculated based on a quarter of household water not going into the wastewater e.g. used for gardening. Accordingly, your wastewater charge is based on 75% of your water usage as measured by your water meter.
