Concessions
Concessions from the State Government for water and sewerage accounts are available for some customers. To be eligible, the property for which you are seeking a water and sewerage concession:
- must be your principle place of residence,
- must be used for residential purposes only, and
- you must hold one of the following cards:
Please note that the name and address on the card must match the name and address on the water and sewerage account.
How much is the concession?
In 2011-12, the concession is:
- $75.08 for your water service, and
- $75.08 for your sewerage service.
The concession applies only to the Water and Sewerage Service Charges. The Water Usage Charge is not subject to a concession.
The concession is for 2011-12, and is shown as a quarterly reduction on each quarterly account you receive.
Concession rates for 2012-13 are expected to rise by CPI. Southern Water is awaiting advice from the State Government.
If I apply, when does the concession start?
If you apply to Southern Water to receive a concession, and you meet all the criteria, we will apply the concession from the date on which we received your application form.
