The NWC submitted an application to the OUR on 5th September 2003 requesting a comprehensive review of its water and sewerage rates. In its application it proposed an across the board 42% real increase to its existing water tariffs (inclusive of service charge). It also proposed that the present arrangement whereby sewerage charges are computed at 100% of water charges be maintained. The NWC also indicated that this was less than the 80% increase to achieve full cost recovery as recommended by its consultants (PWC).
