The Tenterfield Star posted an article in the paper regarding new water leak policies coming to New South Wales in Australia. Unexpectedly large water bills are on the rise as a result of unseen leaks on residential properties. The Tenterfield Shire Council passed a policy at its November meeting which details the necessary steps to meet the criteria.
The Council will adopt the practice that is already working at other councils for dealing with ratepayers’ requests for some relief on their bills under these unforeseen circumstances. Take note, however, that it relates only where a large water consumption charge is generated as a result of a concealed water leak, not leaks caused by appliances which should be able to be readily detected and rectified.
For homeowners, this could mean plumbing that runs under the foundation, or in other unseen locations around the property where water might be leaking, but the result of the leak isn’t readily visible. This includes irrigation systems, or outside plumbing that feeds pool equipment, or secondary buildings that run off the main house water supply.
