Aucklanders will have to prepare to pay more for their water services in the coming months.

Watercare has locked in a 9.5 percent price increase on their water bills, starting from July. 

Watercare Chief Customer Officer Amanda Singleton says the organisation has planned infrastructure developments for Auckland, which will cost $1 billion by the end of 2023 and $13 billion overall.

Amanda Singleton says the increased water bills will help pay for these necessary developments over the next decade.
