### sec.138 Guidelines for rate notice or account for supply of water to residential premises
A rate notice or account issued by the water service provider, or the related local government, for the supply of water to the residential premises, must comply with guidelines made by the regulator.
The guidelines may state—
the frequency at which a rate notice or account must be issued for the supply of water to residential premises; and
the type of information to be included in the rate notice or account about the volume of water supplied to the premises during each billing period for the premises.
This section applies despite the requirements for levying rates under the Local Government Act .
Subsection (5) applies for a service provider that is a withdrawn SEQ council.
If there is any conflict between the guidelines and any requirement under the 2009 restructuring Act for a rate notice or account, the guidelines and subsection (1) do not apply to the extent of the conflict.
