If you own a property that has separate parts, a water organisation can charge you different rates for water services for each part. You will only be charged separately if the water organisation has explained what they mean by "separately used or inhabited" in their water services strategy. This means the organisation must have a clear definition of what it means for a part of a property to be used or lived in separately before they can charge you different rates.

A water organisation may set separate water services charges for separately used or inhabited parts of a property.
However, subsection (1) applies only if the water organisation has defined separately used or inhabited in the organisation’s water services strategy.
