REPORTS

Administration 6.0.1 Future Reports

Business Units 6.7.1 Salisbury Water Flow Restrictions Policy for Residential Customers

Confidential Items 6.8.1 Update on Action on Rate Accounts Outstanding under Section 184 of the

Local Government Act 1999 Pursuant to section 83(5) of the Local Government Act 1999 the Chief Executive

Officer has indicated that, if Council so determines, this matter may be considered in confidence under Part 3 of the Local Government Act 1999 on that grounds that:

1. pursuant to Section 90(2) and (3)(a) of the Local Government Act 1999, the

principle that the meeting should be conducted in a place open to the public has been outweighed in relation to the matter because disclosure:

- of information would involve the unreasonable disclosure of information

concerning the personal affairs of any person (living or dead). In weighing up the factors related to disclosure: - Disclosure of this matter to the public would demonstrate accountability

and transparency of Council’s operations; - Non-disclosure of the matter and discussion of this item in confidence

would protect information related to the personal affairs of any person (living or dead) and proposed action by Council where the rates for a property have been outstanding for a period of not less than three years.

AGENDA (3)

On that basis, the public’s interest is best served by not disclosing the Update on Action of Rates Outstanding under Section 184 of the Local Government Act 1999 item and discussion at this point in time.

2. Pursuant to Section 90(2) of the Local Government Act 1999 it is

recommended the Council orders that all members of the public, except:

- Staff of the City of Salisbury on duty in attendance;

be excluded from attendance at the meeting for this Agenda Item.

6.7.1 Salisbury Water Flow Restrictions Policy for Residential Customers 1 - 7

ITEM 6.7.1 (1)

BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE DATE 21 July 2014 HEADING Salisbury Water Flow Restrictions Policy for Residential Customers AUTHOR Roseanne Irvine; Projects Administration Officer; Business Excellence CITY PLAN LINK 4.5 - Achieving Excellence - To apply business and resource

management that enables excellent service delivery and financial sustainability

SUMMARY

The attached policy is submitted for endorsement to assist with the recovery of outstanding residential Salisbury Water charges through the restriction of supply.

1. CONSULTATION / COMMUNICATION

1.1. Internal

1.1.1. Salisbury Water Management Board, Meeting No 18, April 2014

2. REPORT

2.1. There have been a number of instances where residential customers have failed to pay their Salisbury Water accounts on time or within a reasonable period.

2.2. Due to current provisions in the Local Government Act, it is not yet feasible to apply the same debt recovery proceedings as the rating system for residential Salisbury Water customers. Further reform of the Local Government Act is required before this can occur.

2.3. In order to manage instances of non-payment, a Water Flow Restriction Policy for Residential Customers has been developed in line with current industry regulations (Water Industry Act 2012).

2.4. Council’s Water Industry Retail Licence, Clause 8.1, states that Council “must not restrict, discontinue or disconnect, or take any action which may lead to the restriction, discontinuance or disconnection of supply of retail services, except in accordance with the restriction, discontinuance and disconnection procedures set out in the Act, any applicable industry code or, otherwise, in accordance with the customer’s customer sales contract.”

2.5. The Water Industry Act and the Water Retail Code for Minor and Intermediate Retailers states that we are prohibited from disconnecting residential customers for non-payment of bills, however we are entitled to restrict water flow.

2.6. Residential Water Supply Agreements (customer sales contract) have no specific clauses regarding non-payment or recovery of outstanding charges, therefore the


proposed policy is required to ensure that outstanding funds can be recovered.

3. CONCLUSION / PROPOSAL

3.1. Until such time that residential customers can be moved to the rating system, the attached policy has been developed in line with current regulations. The policy will assist staff with the recovery of outstanding water charges and minimise the impact of unpaid supply.

3.2. The Salisbury Water Management Board has considered this policy and recommended that the policy be submitted to Council for approval.

RECOMMENDATION

1. The information be received.

2. The Salisbury Water Flow Restriction Policy for Residential Customers be endorsed.

CO-ORDINATION Officer: Exec Group Date: 15.7.14 This document should be read in conjunction with the following attachments:

Management Responsible Officer: Manager, Salisbury Waters

A - PREAMBLE 1. This policy provides clear direction to staff, management and Council in relation to the

recovery outstanding Salisbury Water residential water charges through the restriction of water supply in accordance with the Council’s Water Industry Retail Licence.

2. A flow restrictor is a device that can limit water flow to a property, typically an orifice plate inserted at the supply meter. The Council proposes to use restrictors to limit the flow of water to a nominal 0.4 litres per minute thus allowing residents to still meet basic hygiene for toilet flushing but limiting the ‘usability’ of the supply for other purposes.

B – POLICY PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES 1. This policy applies to residential customers who receive Salisbury Water from the City of

Salisbury’s Water Business Unit who meet the criteria for non-payment of Salisbury Water accounts as per Clause D1.

2. This policy provides clear direction to those Council officers who are responsible for managing the recovery of outstanding Salisbury Water residential water charges and the criteria to be applied for the installation of a water flow restriction device.

C - DEFINITIONS 1. “Salisbury Water Business Unit” is a business unit of the City of Salisbury (‘the

Council’).

2. “Salisbury Water” is the term used for Council’s fit-for-purpose recycled water supply.

D - POLICY STATEMENT 1. Criteria for Flow Restriction

1.1. A residential customer will have a water flow restriction device installed when their water account has a minimum outstanding balance of $200.00 or has been in arrears for 4 consecutive quarters.

1.2. A water flow restriction device will only be installed in accordance with the procedures outlined in the following Clauses D2 to D8.

Page 1 of 5 17/07/2014

2. Councils Ability to Restrict a Residential Water Service 2.1. The Council may arrange for the restriction of the supply of Salisbury Water to a

3. Councils Obligations Prior to Restricting a Residential Water Service 3.1. Before restricting supply of Salisbury Water to a residential customer for failure to pay

a bill or bills, the Council will:

4. Prohibition on Residential Water Flow Restriction 4.1. In the following instances, the Council must not arrange for the supply of a residential

c) where the residential customer or a person residing at the residential customers supply address has advised the Council that the person ordinarily residing at the supply address is dependent on life support equipment.

Page 2 of 5 17/07/2014

d) where a residential customer has made a complaint, directly related to the reason for the proposed flow restriction, to the industry ombudsman or another external dispute resolution body and the complaint remains unresolved,

e) Where the residential customer is the landlord, and the supply address is occupied by a tenant and the tenant has: • Provided acceptable evidence (such as an executed tenancy agreement,

proof of rental receipts or other bills for goods and services) demonstrating the tenant’s residence at the supply address; and

• Satisfied its payment obligations (if any) in respect of the retail service in accordance with the terms of the relevant tenancy agreement
