Investigating options for rating system

We are currently reviewing how rates are calculated to ensure they are still set in the fairest and most equitable way. If changes are proposed, we will seek community input through public consultation early next year. These changes will not impact the total amount of rates we collect, instead they will affect how we work out everyone’s share.

Flush water from taps in the mornings

Although the health risk is small, this simple precaution is one all households on public and private water supplies should take.
