DEVELOPMENT SERVICING CHARGES & RECOMMENDED SERVICE CONNECTION FEES
With the introduction of a Development Servicing Plan, Connection Fees have two basic components - a Development Servicing Charge (a contribution towards infrastructure based on the potential increase in demand on the system), and a
Service Connection Fee (the (averaged) cost of physically installing the connection and meter). Land developers are also required to meet the reticulation costs.

COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT SERVICING CHARGES
NOTE: These charges are in addition to the applicable service connection fee.
Development Servicing Charges for Industrial or Commercial developments are based on a charge of $3800 per E.T. (Equivalent Tenement).
For Commercial or Industrial Development, E.T.'s will be calculated by one of the following 2 methods - whichever gives the Higher E.T.
Method 1: Use the Water Directorate Guidelines and multiply the recommended E.T. value by a factor of 0.6.
Method 2: Calculate the E.T. by dividing the assessed peak days demand by 5 kilolitres. Eg. A peak days demand of 20 kilolitres = 4 E.T.
NOTE: At the time of subdivision, the Developer Servicing Charge will be based on 1 E.T. per Lot. The charges will then be reassessed when the owner makes application for connection to the water supply.
For Commercial Development, E.T.'s will be calculated according to the Water Directorate Guidelines, in particular Table 2, and by multiplying the recommended E.T. Value by a factor of 0.6
NOTE:
1. At the time of requesting a service connection, the applicable E.T.'s will be recalculated and credit will be given for any previously paid E.T.'s.
2. Notwithstanding all of the above, there will be a minimum Development Servicing Charge or $3800 per Lot, AND the following minimum development servicing charges will apply to each service connection, based on service connection size.
| SERVICE SIZE | <80mm | 80mm |
100mm (minimum 4 E.T.) |
