New Customer Connections Charges

Cradle Mountain Water (CMW) has implemented a new pricing schedule for new customer connections.  These prices apply only to:

  • Properties that have not previously been connected to CMW infrastructure;
  • Properties connected to CMW infrastructure but have not previously been charged a tariff; and
  • Properties where the predominate use of the property has changed.

Schedule of Charges - Water Services

Water service charges comprise two parts - a fixed charge, which is based on the size of the water connection to the property; and a volumetric component based on the actual metered use of water at the property.
