In these regulations —
If a range of volumes is set out in an item in a Schedule as part of determining a quality/quantity charge in accordance with the quantity of water or waste water supplied, discharged or drained, then the charge is to be calculated using the method applied in the example.
Example:
The charge for each kilolitre of water supplied in a year is —
up to 150 kL $0.50
over 150 but not over 250 kL $1.00
over 250 kL $1.20
For the supply of 300 kL of water in the year the charge is calculated as follows —
(forthefirst 150 x $0.50 = $75.00 150 kL)
(forthenext 100 x $1.00 = $100.00 100 kL)
(forthenext 50 x $1.20 = $60.00 50 kL)
total charge = $235.00
(1) A water service charge, other than a quality/quantity charge, that applies in respect of land for a financial year applies for the whole year, even if the charge is prescribed after the commencement of the year.
(2) If, part of the way through a financial year, there is a change in circumstances in relation to land that means that there is a change in the water service charges that apply in respect of the land, the charges for the year are to be calculated on a pro rata basis.
(3) Without limiting subregulation (2), a change of circumstances includes —
(a) land becoming or ceasing to be land in respect of which a water service charge applies;
(b) the installation of a meter or a change in the size of a meter.
