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 (metropolitan area) and four months (country area) and the readings are staggered across the State.
Given this, the answer to this question can only reflect the average of the bills issued in January, being mostly scheduled reads together with once-off adjusted charges (the result of an investigation, e.g. leak allowance applications, etc.) and unscheduled meter readings.
(a) $100.84
(b) $106.64
(c) $116.91
(d) $152.56
