I just received a new 'water and wastewater' account from Manuakau water for my two rentals in Mangere. Previously the water bill included water only; wastewater was apparently included in the Land Rates.
Water bill is $93 in one house, and $59 in the other. Wasterwater is $63 each. I am assuming it's a fixed rate per household.
I have one tenant who pays the water and another that has water included in their rent.
So... who pays the additional wastewater costs? Can I now pass on the wastewater component as well?
(I suspect there might be something in the Tenancy Act - I'll check it a bit later when I have a bit of time. Meanwhile, I thought I'd throw it out there for discussion.)
