The Commission is consulting on its proposed Framework and Approach for the SA Water Regulatory Determination to apply from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2024 (SAW RD20).

To promote the long-term interests of SA Water’s customers, the proposed framework and approach for SAW RD20 is aimed at delivering the following outcomes:

  • SA Water should understand what customers value and develop proposals for services and prices that respond to those needs
  • SA Water should incur only efficient expenditure, taking a long-term approach to its decision-making to ensure that the essential services it provides are sustainable, and
  • customers should receive the benefits of that improved efficiency through the prices they pay.

We are seeking input from a wide range of stakeholders on the draft proposals set out in this paper, which will assist us to continue to improve the way in which we apply economic regulation to SA Water.

The proposed framework and approach for SAW RD20 is aimed at challenging SA Water to deliver affordable, reliable and appropriate quality water and sewerage services to South Australians – not just for the SAWRD20 period but also into the future. SA Water has responded well to our regulatory approach since our first determination in 2013, delivering significant efficiencies and price reductions to customers and the proposed approach aims to build on those achievements.
