‘Weeroona Island’ Water Supply
The District Council of Mount Remarkable owns and maintains water reticulation infrastructure that facilitates the supply and sale of potable water to the township of Weeroona Island. The operational costs associated with the Weeroona Island Water Supply exceed Council's capacity to absorb them from general revenue. It would also be inequitable to all ratepayers if the Council were to bear these costs. To recover the expenses related to operating and maintaining this service, Council levies a water supply service charge on each land assessment within the Weeroona Island township, in accordance with Section 155 of the Local Government Act 1999. Additionally, a single tier water usage fee is declared annually for each kilolitre of water supplied. These service charges are applicable to both rateable and non-rateable land that has access to the water supply service.
