This Council views with grave concern the publication on 11 January of the Water Services Bill 2013, which removes water services from democratic accountability as a function of local government and, ultimately, from public control through the process of privatisation. We deplore the proposed draconian powers designed to impose water meters on all homes and to extract a further payment from already hard-pressed citizens and families. This Council further calls on the Government not to proceed with the Water Services Bill 2013, to retain water services as a function of local government, to undertake comprehensive measures to address the need for water conservation, co-ordination of services and to address the outstanding issue of local government funding on the basis of fair taxation and ability to pay.
