WATER METERING AND VOLUMETRIC CHARGING ON DOMESTIC DWELLINGS

Water New Zealand supports the introduction of metering and direct volumetric charges for
domestic dwellings connected to local authority reticulated water schemes. These tools
assist in the management of water demand by reducing household use and the volume of
wastewater requiring transportation and treatment. The ensuing conservation of financial
resources associated with capital investment in infrastructure capital and reduced
maintenance and operational costs (including energy consumption), leads to improved
efficiency.
