WATCHDOG RECOMMENDS COAST WATER BILL CUTS

Central Coast homeowners could soon save hundreds of dollars on their water bills.

Pricing watchdog, IPART, has recommended a price drop of around $330 a year for the Gosford area starting from July.

Wyong households would be spared an average of $150 a year under the draft plan.

It’s expected the policy would cut council revenue from water charges by $15 million over three years.

Consultation on the plan closes April 24.
