Retail pricing

Section 35 of the Water Industry Act 2012 empowers the Commission to make a determination under the Essential Services Commission Act 2002 regulating prices, conditions relating to prices, and price-fixing factors for water retail services.

The Commission has made separate price determinations to apply to SA Water and minor and intermediate water retailers.

Information about the process that was followed for setting SA Water’s prices prior to 2013 is available on the website of the Department of Treasury and Finance at https://www.treasury.sa.gov.au/economy,-taxes-and-rebates/economic-regulation/water-and-sewerage-prices
