Hi Cherie
Gunnedah Shire is a Local Water Utilities (LWU) and we provide the amount of any water usage charges due and payable at the time of issue of the 603 Certificate as provided by section 603(3)(a) of the Local Government Act (the Act).
In addition, we also offer a “Special Water Meter Reading Certificate” under Section 608(2) of the Act. This certificate includes a special reading of the water meter at the time of application, details of the average daily water consumption for the meter, year to date water consumption and general information about Council’s Three Tier Tarriff System for residential properties. The price for this certificate is set at the price of the 603 Certificate.
We have smart meters installed across the LGA which makes this process straight forward, as there is no need to send a member of staff out in the field to read the water meter to complete the certificate.
Happy to share a copy of our Special Water Meter Reading Certificate if required.
Cheers
Anthony
