Five days until South Australians face higher water bills

The Premier on pipe patrol scouring the infrastructure he needs to solve SA's housing crisis. We're just gonna build more homes, but we can't build more homes unless we get critical water infrastructure to those allotments to unlock the growth. And while ratepayers are expected to help swallow some of the costs, the government will lend a hand, increasing concessions for water and sewer bills by $52 a year. From July 1. The average home can expect $21.00 more on their water bill, while concession card holders will face an $8 rise. State government is stepping in and we are picking up the majority of that increase by increasing the concession for every pension across the state. If you're someone on a very low income across our community today who's trying to piece their life together, it's going to be really important. While happy relief is on the way for low income earners, the opposition says water bills should never have been increased in the 1st place, especially during a cost of living crisis. S Australian households and businesses are going to be gouged like they haven't been since last time Labour were in power. With unfair water bills In the meantime, what was meant to be temporary measures to cut sewerage will remain in place as housing developments make do with what they've got. Will De Fuvia 9 News.
