Melbourne water customers may get bill relief after 2024 upgrade caused errors and payment suspensions.
Melbourne households and small businesses may receive compensation or have delayed water bills written off after a 2024 system upgrade failure by Greater Western Water caused widespread billing errors and direct debit suspensions.
The proposed $130 million redress plan, pending approval, includes forgiving $75 million in unbilled charges and offering $80 to $240 credits based on delay length.
About 70,000 customers affected by payment suspensions would get $80 credits.
No bills will be issued more than 12 months after a billing quarter ends, and catch-up billing may be allowed by June 2026 if staggered.
The plan aims to resolve the crisis by mid-2026 while ensuring the company’s financial stability.
