The Government's water services pricing policy framework requires the metering of all non-domestic customers by December 2006. The metering of the non-domestic sector is essential to ensure a transparent and equitable process for the full recovery of non-domestic water services costs.
All relevant local authorities have indicated that metering of non-domestic customers will be achieved within the 2006 deadline. In this regard, 13 authorities commenced their meter installation programmes in 2004 with the remaining authorities scheduled to commence installation work in 2005.
