Essential Services Commission
The Essential Services Commission has released its draft decision on how much North East Water can charge customers for water services over the next five years, from 1 July 2026.
North East Water provides water and sewerage services to approximately 120,000 people in 39 towns. Its service area includes Wodonga and Wangaratta and is bound by Corryong, Yarrawonga, Benalla and Dartmouth.
The commission is largely satisfied that North East Water’s proposed price increases are needed to meet customer expectations and invest in infrastructure. However, the commission has proposed reducing the business’ operating expenditure.
