Water measuring device charges

Hawke's Bay Regional Council recovers costs for water use monitoring from consent holders who hold consents that require a water measuring device. The table below shows the charges involved for the 2023-24 year. 

Monitoring water-measuring devicesAnnual charge (excl GST)

Annual water measuring device admin charge (for the first meter)

PLUS - each additional water measuring device

$230

$55

Annual water measuring device admin - non-exercised consent

$45

These charges are also outlined in our Annual Plan, and in the 2021-31 Long Term Plan.

An additional charge will only be made where extra compliance monitoring is required as a result of non-compliance with consent conditions, the metering regulations or where water takes require additional monitoring/data returns over and above water use returns. 

Where an additional charge is to be made, this shall be calculated by multiplying the actual hours involved in undertaking monitoring of the consent by the hourly rate for the staff involved.
