AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

WATER RATES ORDINANCE 1967

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 26 of 1967

	On 29 October 1965 the Minister approved that a preliminary poll of landholders concerned be conducted to ascertain whether the existing water supply system should be extended to enable water to be supplied in the Hall District, such an extension to be on the basis that 50% of the capital cost would be recouped from those benefiting from the extension.  Poll result was favourable to such an extension.

	Under the provisions of the Water Rates Ordinance 1967, a charge of $24, in addition to normal charges, is to be levied on each rateable tenement in Hall and on every additional parcel of land which, on the request of the owner of lessee, is connected to the Hall water supply system.  In this way the percentage of the capital cost to be recouped from landholders connected to the supply will be met.
