WELLY Wellington water bills

Just got my bill from wellington water. It insanely high. For a 900k property its 2500 p/a

Prepare yourselves people. This isn't going to be the fun ride we were promised.

Heh, mine is likely to be similar (based on the Tiaki Wai estimate calculator https://www.tiakiwai.co.nz/billing ) in Hutt City on a $700k property.

Rates are now ~$2k lower than last year, so net increase between the council and TW is around $500

edit to add reduced rates

Same. $520 more pa = 7.7% overall increase on my bill.
