russ and claire Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I ask this daft question cause when the baby is here, we will be using cloth nappies and was wondering if in Perth you are on a water metre and this may mean that if we make it to Perth that we may not be able to use the cloth nappies.

northernbird Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Water is a precious commodity in Australia and yes everyone is one a meter. The more you use the more the price goes up. Water Corporation have a website which has all the costing information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skani Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Thank you for your reply, I may sell the nappies then before we move out to Perth. You'll probably find that the cost of disposable nappies is far more than the cost of metered water. The Australian Consumers' Association did a costing of disposables for a child: I think they calculated something like $6000 on average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Disposable nappies are much more expensive here so you will be fine using cloth nappies, even if you use more water our bill was only $45 for a quarter so hardly breaking the bank. Baby stuff is one of the things that I did find more expensive here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
