Utilities consist of 3 components: Garbage, Sewer and Water. These are billed quarterly, after the meters are read. The quarters are as follows: January to March, April to June, July to September and October to December.
Garbage and sewer are flat rates of $14.00 and $13.00, charged per month while water is on a consumpion basis after a flat rate of $21.00 for the first 25 cubic metres. This works out to $7.00 per month. The rate then varies as follows:
| 26-50 m3 | $0.50/m3 |
| 51-75 m3 | $0.60/m3 |
| 76-100 m3 | $0.75/m3 |
| 101-125 m3 | $1.00/m3 |
| 126 and up | $1.35/m3 |
A cubic metre is equal to 220 gallons.
