CONNECTION COSTS
A. Development Servicing Charges
&
B. 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.

* The availability of a service connection greater than 32mm diameter is dependent on the capacity to supply within the reticulation network.
** If a tapping direct to Goldenfields Water County Council large diameter main is required, the customer must arrange this with GWCC. They will be a GWCC customer.

NOTE: Due to limitations of existing reticulation a capital contribution towards upgrading may also be required for some rural connections, calculated on an individual basis.

COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT SERVICING CHARGES

NOTE: These charges are in addition to the applicable service connection fee.

Development Servicing Charges for Industrial or Commecial developments are based on a charge of $3400 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, Table 3 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 re-assessed when the owner makes application for connection to the water supply.

For Commercial Development E.T.'s will be calcualted 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 $3400 per Lot, AND the following minimum development servicing charges will apply to each service connection, based on service connection size.
