The table provides information about the cost of water in five Australian cities, including Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney. It shows the usage charge per kiloliter for two different consumption levels—up to 125 kiloliters and over 125 kiloliters—as well as the average water bill per household in each city. From the data, it is clear that the water prices vary significantly across these cities. Sydney has the highest usage charge for water up to 125 kiloliters at $0.98 per kiloliter, which remains the same for usage over 125 kiloliters. Brisbane and Melbourne have relatively stable rates regardless of usage, with Brisbane charging $0.81 and $0.84, and Melbourne charging $0.78 for both usage levels. Adelaide and Perth have the lowest rates for usage up to 125 kiloliters, both at $0.42, but Perth’s rate increases sharply to $1.50 for usage over 125 kiloliters, the highest among all cities for high consumption. Regarding the average household water bill, Perth has the highest at $332, followed by Sydney at $319 and Adelaide at $312. Brisbane’s average bill is slightly lower at $310, while Melbourne has the lowest average bill of $253. In summary, while Sydney charges the highest rate for low water usage, Perth imposes the highest rate for heavy water consumption, which likely contributes to its highest average household bill. Melbourne offers the most affordable water rates and bills among the five cities.
