Queensland Urban Utilities announces price freeze
The Queensland Urban Utilities Board has announced the company is committed to a price freeze for the 2012/13 year.
Queensland Urban Utilities Chairperson, Jude Munro, said the price freeze was in line with the company’s commitment to lowering the cost of living impact on families.
“We have listened to our customers and understand the pressure the rising cost of living is putting on household budgets,” Ms Munro said.
“We have demonstrated this through our track record of freezing prices this year and reducing water and sewerage bills last year for customers in four out of five of our service territories.
“Queensland Urban Utilities has been able to freeze its water and sewerage prices this year because our internal efficiency program has delivered almost $63 million in budget reductions and recurring efficiencies in our first two years of operation.
