As a commercial water rate payer and being from the most expensive county in the country for water, I was looking forward to the harmonisation process for the commercial water charge. While public consultation is very important for everything, a two year window to try to reach a decision on this is a little long. In fairness, we have known it has been coming for quite some time so what is the delay in harmonising commercial water rates? We were able to harmonise commercial rates between towns and counties over a five year period and there were significant differences there.
