Did you know? There has been a recent increase in water usage charges by the Mid Western Regional Council, now at $3.59 per kilolitre of water. This adjustment might lead to a slight rise in your water bills from this month. While nobody enjoys increased expenses, this change presents an opportunity for us to become more water conscious.What Can You Do?To help you manage this change and avoid receiving excessive water bills, we have a couple of suggestions:1. Check for Leaks: Ensure your property is free from any leaking taps or toilets. This simple step can save you money and prevent unnecessary water wastage. If you spot any leaks, please report them to our agency. The way you can check for a suspected leak is by taking a water meter reading just before you go to bed, and then checking the reading again in the morning, if the number has increased, this could mean you have had water leaking over night. 2. Conserve Water: We can all do our part in conserving water. Small steps like fixing those leaks, shortening your showers, and turning off the tap when not in use, and filling a bucket while you are waiting for hot water to come through can make a big difference in your consumption and bills.
These measures will not only save you money but also contribute to the responsible use of our water resources, helping to create a more sustainable and water efficient community.
