Rolled together, the potential hikes would make a $116 monthly utility bill today into a $133 a month bill in 2022. That means a potential increase of $204 a year between now and 2022.

The sewage one gets me. I grow a garden and pay for loads of water that never hits the sewer. Looking forward to having 2 x 1000 litre tanks for rainwater.

The key drivers behind the increases are the cost of the services, the need to upgrade infrastructure and accommodating service to new communities.
Most of the new growth costs are covered through off-site levies paid by developers. But there's a potential $80 million shortfall which will add slightly to the monthly water charge.

I thought this was supposed to be covered by their new levies? Did someone math wrong?
