Adelaide Water Bills Soar from July 1 2011
The latest round of water price rises mean Adelaide households need slimline water tanks from Tanks in Tight Places now more than ever.
From today, July 1 2011, South Australia's households will on average pay 40 per cent more for their water than they did last year. The fixed annual water supply charge alone will increase a massive 65 per cent from today. See table below.
