The Tasmanian economic regulator is required to make a price determination under the Water and Sewerage Industry Act 2008.  

The services will be regulated and a report will be published about the determination on April 30, 2018. 

Before a decision is made on the final price determination, the Water and Sewerage Industry (Pricing and Related Matters) Regulations 2011 requires the Economic Regulator to conduct a price determination investigation to gather information to assist in making a price determination.

 The regulator will also prepare a draft report and draft price determination.

The draft report and draft price determination are based on information provided in TasWater’s proposed price and service plan which was submitted to the economic regulator on June 30 this year, and analysis undertaken by the economic regulator.

The body is asking for written submissions on the overhaul to be submitted by January 25. 

Submissions can be sent to office@economicregulator.tas.gov.au or by mail to Office of the Tasmanian Economic Regulator, GPO Box 770, Hobart 7001.
