Mayor's Message

councillorcolsulRichmond Valley Council is currently considering a revised pricing framework for its Water Fund operations.

Currently for 2010/2011 the water fund pricing is as follows:

•    Residential / Non residential (including Business and commercial) – $1.63 a kilolitre for first 200kL, $2.45 per kilolitre for use greater than 200kL
•    Food Producer Category (Northern Cooperative Meat Company, Richmond Dairies, Seine and the Broadwater Sugar Mill) - $0.69 per kilolitre

The proposed pricing structure being considered by Council is to have the same rate for all users;  at this time it is estimated that the uniform charge will be $1.68 per kilolitre.  A second tier tariff will only apply to residential customers for consumption in excess of 200kL in line with State Government water pricing guidelines.
