I think this figure includes gst - so would be $6,900 ex gst. If your development at Warkworth includes two housing units, then that would explain the $14,000 you were charged in IGC's - at least from Watercare's point of view. <br>You mention aJoel Cayfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333945842340425946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763366316092865103.post-35316753376036656652012-08-16T15:28:03.595+12:002012-08-16T15:28:03.595+12:00Joel, I have recently completed a development in W...Joel, I have recently completed a development in Warkworth which was started a few months ago (Mar/Apr) At the time, I called Watercare and was blown away at the IGC costs they were to charge - $7,000 or thereabouts. I continued with the project anyway, and completed it late July. I lodged an application for water to be hooked up late July and today received a quote via email of $14,800.

The only point I do NOT agree with is the suggestion that stormwater should be managed by Watercare.<br />If one lookes at stormwater management issues (flooding, stream deterioration, contamination of receiving waters) and how to resolve these, in Auckland (!) these are largely related to (changes in) landuse.
