Water usage
Central Coast Council reads water meters on a rolling quarterly basis, with a water account issued after each reading. All property types pay a water usage charge based on the volume of water that passes through the water meter, with strata plans paying a percentage of the shared meter as defined by the strata plan. Water usage charges are applied for every kilolitre (thousand litres) of water used.

Water service charges pay for the availability of the water supply and for future work to secure it. This also applies to vacant land, where water is connected.
Sewerage service charges apply to all properties that can readily connect to Council’s sewerage system. Most residential properties and vacant land have a fixed sewerage charge and the cost for non-residential properties is based on the size of the water meter. Trade waste charges may apply to some non-residential properties and will depend upon percentage of water discharged to the sewer.
Stormwater drainage charges apply to all rateable properties within Council's declared drainage areas and help fund drainage works capital and maintenance costs across the Local Government Area.Read more information about water, sewerage and stormwater drainage charges on your water bill.
