From 1 July 2009, water and sewerage services in Tasmania were combined into three service-based organisations charged with delivering water and sewerage services throughout the three regions of Tasmania. For Hobart, the new organisation Southern Water is responsible for water and sewerage services.
Water and sewerage charges no longer appear on your rates notice. Instead, you have received or will receive shortly, a separate bill from Southern Water.
If you have any water and sewerage enquiries, you should contact Southern Water on 13 6992.
