When it takes effect

What this means in practice. Residents and organisations in the region should prepare in advance.

• Record your water meter readings at the end of September and keep a photo — it will help in any dispute over which tariff was applied to water used before the increase
• If a bill looks higher than expected, start with a written complaint to the operator
• Businesses and budget organisations should recalculate their fourth-quarter utility budgets
