Auckland household Watercare water bills could double in less than a decade 7 Jan, 2021 04:00 PM 6 minutes to read Social issues reporter, NZ Heraldmichael.neilson@nzherald.co.nz Auckland household water bills could more than double in less than a decade after Watercare approved increases to tackle rising costs and settle its books. Watercare says it is the only way to raise funds needed due to borrowing limits, but an Auckland councillor has slammed the agency saying years of underinvestment have finally caught up, hitting ratepayers already suffering due to Covid-19 impacts hard. The proposed price increases, approved by the Watercare board on December 23, would see the average household pay an extra $70 next year, adding to the already-proposed $150 in extra rates to Auckland Council.
