(a-o) It should be noted that the Water Corporation does not read residential water meters on a monthly basis. Residential water meters are read every six months in the metropolitan area and every four months in country areas and the readings are staggered across the State.
Of the 15 suburbs referred to in the question only three suburbs (Clarkson, Dalyellup and Yokine) have the water meters read in January. The average residential water bill issued for these suburbs for the months of January 2008, January 2009, January 2010 and January 2011 are presented in the table below.
The average residential water bill issued for the remaining suburbs for the months of January 2008, January 2009, January 2010 and January 2011 reflect the average of scheduled reads (where they occur) together with once-off adjusted charges (the result of an investigation, e.g. leak allowance applications, etc.) and unscheduled meter readings. Given the variable nature of these readings it is not appropriate to compare these readings from year to year.
