Certainty needed over utility bills

CM comments ahead of 2017 rate hike

Island residents and businesses need to have some sense of certainty when it comes to their utility bills.

So says the Chief Minister in the week it was announced there’ll be a minimal hike to the Island's sewerage and water rates from next April.

The rise will be restricted in line with inflation, while revised electricity tariffs will be set in January.

Howard Quayle says it’s important locals have confidence and know where they stand.
