The given table illustrates the cost of water in 5 cities in Australia. Broadly the water charges
in kiloliters were divided into two categories, usage charges up to 125 kiloliters and usage
charges over 125 kiloliters, on this basis, the average bill per household was calculated.
It can be easily observed that the average bill per household in Perth was the highest at $332
and the average bill per household in Melbourne was the lowest at $253. The average
household bill of Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney was significantly less than Perth’s average bill
but higher than Melbourne.
The cost of water up to 125 KL in Perth and Adelaide was $0. 42. The charges of water up to
125 KL in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney are relatively higher. If water consumption goes
beyond 125 KL, Sydney and Melbourne are not affected as the charges remain the same for
water consumption in these two countries. Whereas when Brisbane increased its water
consumption over 125 KL, it was only affected by the $3 difference amount. Adelaide and
Perth were charged extra because their water consumption increased beyond 125 KL.
