Housing trust water meters
November 6th, 2008 by KrisMany Housing Trust tenants are charged for water usage as a proportion of a single reading for a block of units. This disadvantages those tenants who are conscientious about water usage and benefits those who are not. Last week I presented a petition to Parliament signed by 75 local residents urging the Government to ensure all Housing Trust households are provided with their own individual water meters in order that they can monitor and control their own water use. This way they will also pay SA Water for the accurate and appropriate usage. Eventually, I would like to see this for all privately owned water meters as well.
