The removal of Trade Waste charges have also led to a recalculation of sewer ET (Equivalent Tenements) charges, which is calculated depending on the number of hair basins. To make things fairer, we’ve changed more than 1 element of charging. Sewerage charges were previously calculated at 0.79ET’s per basin, but from July 1st 2022 will be 0.25 ETs per basin – that’s a threefold reduction in sewer charges.
Previously for customers charged more than 1 ET, TasWater reduced the ET charge by 1 ET to accommodate the trade waste charge.
For this PSP using the new sewer charge calculation, only salons with more than 4 hair basins will be charged more than 1 ET.
