Sample 1:

The table details how much residents in five Australian cities are required to pay for water consumption.

A glance at the table reveals that people living in Adelaide and Perth pay the least if they use less than 125KL, or else they pay the most. Another highlight is that households in Perth have the highest average bill for water usage among the five surveyed cities.

Locals in Adelaide and Perth only have to pay $0.42 per kiloliter if they use less than 125KL, roughly half of the price for those of other cities. However, if water use in two aforementioned cities surpasses 125KL, the cost nearly doubles ($1.00) in Adelaide or almost triples ($1.50) in Perth. Residents in Melbourne and Sydney pay the same amount of money, $0.78 and $0.98 respectively, regardless of how much water they use. Brisbane’s people only pay an extra $0.03 if they use more than 125KL.

In general, people residing in Perth have the highest cost of water use, at $332, far exceeding the figures for Sydney ($319), Adelaide ($312) and Brisbane ($310). Households’ spending on water consumption in Melbourne is only $253, the smallest amount recorded among five cities.

Sample 2:

The table illustrates how much water costs across five major urban areas in Australia. Overall, there are increases in usage charges once people in Adelaide, Brisbane, and Perth use more than 125 kiloliters (KL) of water, whereas the other two cities in question maintain consistent water pricing. Additionally, while the highest average water bill per household is recorded in Perth, the opposite is true in the case of Melbourne.

Regarding usage charges for the initial 125 KL, Adelaide and Perth have the cheapest rates, both standing at $0.42. This is in stark contrast to Sydney, as it imposes the highest cost at $0.98 in this category. Meanwhile, a close similarity can be seen in the charges levied by Brisbane and Melbourne, with respective figures of $0.81 and $0.78.

When water usage exceeds 125 KL, water prices in Adelaide and Perth climb approximately twofold and threefold, respectively, making them the most expensive out of the five cities listed. A slight rise of $0.03 is also witnessed in Brisbane, but residents in Sydney and Melbourne still pay the same rates.

Turning to the average water bill, an Australian household living in Perth pays $332, followed by those in Sydney, Adelaide, and Brisbane, with their expenses being around $310. In the last place is Melbourne, where a family spends only $253.

Sample 3:

The table compares unit water prices per kilolitre and average water bills in various Australian cities.

Overall, Perth has the highest water bill, followed closely by Sydney. It is noteworthy that when water consumption exceeds 125KL, Melbourne and Sydney maintain a consistent rate, while other cities apply higher charges.

In terms of unit prices for water usage under 125KL, Sydney has the highest rate at $0.98 per kilolitre. Brisbane and Melbourne follow closely behind at $0.81 and $0.78, respectively. These rates are approximately double those of Adelaide and Perth, which charge only $0.42 per kilolitre.

Regarding charges for consumption exceeding 125KL, Perth imposes the highest rate at $1.50 per kilolitre, which is $0.50 more than Adelaide's rate. Meanwhile, other cities charge approximately $0.78 to $0.98 per kilolitre.

As for the average water bill, Perth residents face the highest expenses, with an average of $332. In contrast, Adelaide, Brisbane, and Sydney residents experience slightly varying bills ranging from $310 to just under $320. Finally, those living in Melbourne have the lowest average bill at $253.

Sample 4:

The table provides a breakdown of the cost of water in various Australian cities. Overall, inhabitants in all cities except Melbourne and Sydney are charged more per kilolitre if their usage exceeds 125 KL. In addition, Perth households record the highest water bill on average.

Under 125 KL of consumption, water is the most expensive in Sydney, where each kilolitre costs 0.98 dollars. This is followed by the prices in Brisbane and Melbourne, at $0.81 and $0.78 per kilolitre, respectively. Adelaide and Perth, meanwhile, report the same rate of $0.42, which is less than half the cost in Sydney.

Once water consumption surpasses the aforementioned threshold, the per kilolitre cost in Perth outstrips that in any other city, with $1.50. Additionally, it is over three times the price for Perth households that use under 125 KL. Adelaide residents pay $1 for every kilolitre of water according to this scheme, which is the second highest rate. The water cost in Brisbane increases slightly to $0.84, whereas Melbourne and Sydney households incur no surcharge. This makes Melbourne’s water the cheapest beyond 125 KL of usage. Furthermore, the water bill tends to be the most expensive in Perth, with $332 on average. The data of Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney range from $310 to $320, while Melbourne reports the lowest water bill of $250.

Sample 5:

The table gives information about how much water costs in five different cities in Australia.

Overall, the highest average cost of water use is seen in Perth with over 125 KL while the reverse is true for Melbourne. Notably, citizens in Sydney pay more money when using under 125KL in comparison with the other places.

Looking at Melbourne and Sydney, they both have the same prices for each kilometer no matter how much water is used, at $0.78 and $0.98 respectively. However, there is a significant discrepancy in the bill that each household has to pay, with the average amount of money for water in Sydney being the most expensive although people in Melbourne spend least. A similar pattern is witnessed in Brisbane, with its figures for both types of water capacity being roughly the same, at $0.81 per kiloliter for up to 125KL and $0.84 per kiloliter for more than 125KL. Although paying the second most expensive price per kiloliter of water, people in Brisbane still pay less in water bills, at $310, only higher than Melbourne.

Turning to Perth and Adelaide, both cities charge the same price for each kiloliter, at $0.42, when using less than 125KL. Nevertheless, when the water usage exceeds 125 KL, the former pays $0.5 higher for each kiloliter than the latter, at $1.5 and $1.0 in return. Likewise, most money in the average bill is paid in Perth, at $332, which is slightly higher than Adelaide, at $312.

Sample 6:

The table illustrates the price of water, and the average household water bill, in five Australian cities.

Overall, it can be seen that Melbourne residents have the lowest water bill per household on average, while Perth households have the largest water bills. Additionally, there is little to no difference in the cost of water for residents exceeding 125 kilolitres in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, whereas Perth and Adelaide residents pay significantly higher rates.

The cost of water in Adelaide and Perth is $0.42 per kilolitre for use of up to 125 kilolitres. However, this cost increases to $1.00 in Adelaide and $1.50 in Perth for water use exceeding 125 kilolitres. Residents in Melbourne and Sydney, on the other hand, pay a set rate of $0.78 and $0.98 respectively per kilolitre of water, regardless of the total amount used, while those in Brisbane pay $0.81 per kilolitre and $0.84 for water use surpassing 125 kilolitres.

Regarding household water bills, Perth residents have the highest on average, at $332, while the average in Melbourne is $253. Residents in other cities pay an average of between $310 to $320 per household.

Sample 7:

The table provides information on average bills and rates paid by households in five Australian cities for water usage, categorized into two thresholds, under and over 125 kiloliters (KL).

Overall, Sydney charges the highest price for the under 125 KL threshold. Although Perth and Adelaide have the lowest starting rates, they pay the most for water over 125 KL. Moreover, residents of Perth have the highest bills among the given cities.

Beginning with the charge for bills below the threshold, Sydney residents pay $0.98 per KL, followed by their counterparts in Brisbane and Melbourne, at around $0.80 per KL, which was nearly double the figures in Adelaide and Perth, coming in at $0.42. For consumption exceeding 125 KL, Sydney’s and Melbourne’s rates are fixed, while Brisbane sees a slight increase of $0.03 per KL. In contrast, there are significant price hikes in Adelaide and Perth, with rates approximately doubling to $1.00 in Adelaide and quadrupling to $1.50 in Perth.

Sample 8:

The table illustrates the cost of water usage per kilolitre and the average household water bill in five Australian cities in 2004.

Overall, there was little change between the cost of water use under and over 125 kilolitres in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, while the difference in Perth and Adelaide was significant. It was also apparent that households in Perth paid the largest water bill while those in Melbourne paid the lowest.

Adelaide and Perth paid much lower for water use under 125 kilolitres than the other cities, at $0.42 per kilolitre. However, the cost would rise to $1 and $1.50 respectively if the water consumption exceeded 125 kilolitres. Regarding residents in Melbourne and Sydney, they paid $0.78 and $0.98 regardless of how much water was used. It took Brisbane residents $0.03 more per kilolitre when the total water use surpassed 125 kilolitres.

In terms of the average water bill per household, residents in Perth had the highest rate of $332, whereas the average water bill in Melbourne was the lowest, at $253. Residents in other cities paid from $310 to $319 per household on average.

Sample 9:

The table illustrates the varying costs of water consumption for residents in five major Australian cities.

Overall, the inverse relationship between usage and cost in Adelaide and Perth is clear, where lower consumption leads to lower expenses, while the rest show almost no change regardless of water consumption level. Perth stands out with the highest average bill for water usage.

Adelaide and Perth distinguish themselves by offering a substantially lower rate of $0.42 per kiloliter for those using less than 125KL, a rate nearly half that of other cities. However, when consumption exceeds this threshold, the cost rises dramatically, reaching $1.00 in Adelaide and $1.50 in Perth. In contrast, Melbourne and Sydney maintain consistent charges of $0.78 and $0.98 per kiloliter respectively, regardless of consumption levels. Brisbane, similarly, experiences a minor increase of only $0.03, from $0.81 to $0.84, for usage beyond 125KL.

Residents in Perth face the highest expenses for water usage, totaling $332 which notably surpasses those of Sydney ($319), Adelaide ($312), and Brisbane ($310). Conversely, households in Melbourne bear the lowest financial burden, with a modest expenditure of $253.

The given table details the price of water according to different kiloliter units and average household water bill in five Australian cities (Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney).

Overall, Perth residents have the highest bills for water consumption, whereas those in Melbourne pay less than other cities. In addition, the water prices remain stable regardless of the volume used in Sydney and Melbourne while other cities impose higher prices for water volume exceeding 125 KL.

In terms of the cost of water consumption, Adelaide and Perth apply the same prices for water usage under 125KL, at 0.42$ each. However, these figures rise significantly to 1.00$ in Adelaide and 1.50$ for consumption exceeding 125KL. Meanwhile, Brisbane residents only pay an extra 0.03$ (at 0.84$) if water use surpasses 125KL.

This table shows the water rates and average household water bills in five Australian cities. It is clear that Melbourne residents have the lowest water bills per household on average, while Perth households have the highest.

Furthermore, while there is little difference in water bills for residents who use more than 125 kilolitres of water in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne, residents in Perth and Adelaide pay significantly higher rates. In Adelaide and Perth, the cost of water is $0.

42 per kilolitre, up to a maximum usage of 125 kilolitres. However, if you use more than 125 kilolitres of water, this cost rises to $1.00 in Adelaide and $1.50 in Perth. 

Meanwhile, Melbourne and Sydney residents pay fixed rates of $0.78 and $0.98 per kilolitre of water respectively, regardless of the total amount of water consumed, while Brisbane residents pay $0. 81 or $0. 84 per kilolitre for the total amount of water used.

Sample 13:

There is a table that shows the costs of domestic water for five cities in Australia, as well as their average billing amount.

Overall, it is clear that the cost of using each kilolitre changes according to how much is used, and Perth has the highest average household bill. According to the table, in Sydney, water usage charge per kilolitre when used up to 125KL is highest with slightly less than one Australian dollar. Closely behind Sydney comes Brisbane where the cost for the same category is $0.81. The charges per kilolitre in other cities range from $0.42 to $0.78.

When looking at the cost per kilolitre, if a household uses more than 125KL, Perth is highest at $1.50. This price is $0.50 higher compared to Adelaide's rate. In the remaining three cities - Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney - the amount stays below one Australian dollar.

About the average bill per home, except in Melbourne ($253), water costs are between $310 and $332. Perth is the city where people pay the most for water.

Sample 14:

The table gives details about the costs that Australian citizens in five particular cities - Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne - have to bear for using water. Generally, in Perth, the average water bill for each household is quite higher compared to other cities. On the other hand, in Melbourne, it is the cheapest among five cities. In Particular, people who live in Perth need to pay an average bill up to 332 dollars. But in Adelaide, Brisbane, and Sydney, each household only pays from 310 to 319 dollars for the average bill.

To explain more in detail, the cost of water is split into two groups: one for using up to 125 kiloliters and another for using more than 125 kiloliters. If living in Sydney or Melbourne, people pay the same price for water use - 0.98 dollars per kiloliter in Sydney and 0.78 dollars per kiloliter in Melbourne - regardless of how much water they actually use. Australians who live in Brisbane pay 0.81 dollars for using water if they use less than 125 kiloliters and 0.84 dollars if the amount of water used is more than that. But different rates are applied in Adelaide and Perth. If using under 125 kiloliters, then pay $0.42. If you use over 125 kiloliters, the cost is $1.00 per extra kiloliter and $1.50 for more after that limit of usage.

Sample 15:

Given is a table depicting the water cost in five Australian metropolises in 2004.

Overall, Australians did not always have to pay more per kilolitre when their water usage surpassed 125KL. Furthermore, the difference was minor in the household bills across the five surveyed cities.

Urban dwellers paid less than $2 for water per unit. The rates in Melbourne ($0.78) and Sydney ($0.98) did not vary whether the total water utilisation was under or above 125 kilolitres. Meanwhile, Brisbane residents were required to pay a little more, $0.81 if the sum of usage was up to 125 kilolitres and $0.84 if exceeded. Likewise, even though people living in Adelaide and Perth were charged the lowest regarding the former scenario ($0.42 per unit), they had to pay twofold and threefold, respectively, in the latter case.

In household terms, the average amount Australians were supposed to pay for water was a touch higher than $300, ranging from $310 to $332. Those in Melbourne who had to pay $253 stood out as the only exception.
