The responsibility for running water and sewerage will be taken from council in the next financial year. For some councils water and sewerage are "cash cows" for Kentish sewerage especially is a financial liability. The Sheffield Waste Water Treatment Plant is an expensive and undersized facility that many more thousands of dollars will be needed to improve it's capacity.
I will be happy to see water and sewerage go (as a Councillor). As a ratepayer we can expect a 2 part billing scheme. The first part will be an infrastructure fee, the second will be a pay as you go. So if you don't use much water you won't get charged much. Frugaility will be a virtue! We are big water users here (I have lots of kids) so I guess it is time to have a good look at water saving ideas. Paying from the first litre will instill in some that water is a valuable resource.
