Bloody hell, $2390 now and $6000 in ten years? Might as well start collecting rainwater and build my own sewage system ffs.
Yeah nah get stuffed. Wellington council's been mismanaging water for decades and now we pay the price.
and Labour both let this happen. Vote independent next time.
as a student this is just depressing. can barely afford rent and now water bills too? guess I'll start showering at the uni gym lol
gym showers are gonna be packed! Might see you there haha

It's not profits, it's fixing the pipes that should've been fixed 20 years ago. Still don't agree with the cost though.
Look, I get councils need money for infrastructure. but a 150% increase in a decade is taking the piss. who's approving these budgets?
Oh great, another bill to worry about. My neighbour's already panicking cos she's on a fixed income. this is gonna hit the elderly hard.
here. My mum's gonna struggle. They need a hardship fund or something.
Anyone know if there's an opt-out for people who have their own water tanks? Or is this just another tax grab disguised as 'fair charging'?
it mate. They'll find a way to charge you anyway. Council's got their hand out.
lol 'average annual charge of $2390' average for who? my flat's rent is already $600 a week each. we're screwed.
