Service Charge(s)
Denial Bay Water Reticulation
The Council provided a reticulated water supply to the residents of Denial Bay Township. The full cost of establishing this service was raised from a loan. The Council is recovering this cost through the imposition of a service charge. Where this service is available to non-rateable land a service charge will still apply against that land.
The service charge for each separate allotment receiving or able to receive the service is $167.25 per annum per allotment. The Council decided to raise the revenue by means of a service charge because of the concept of user pays.
