SCHEDULE OF CHARGES AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1. The basic charge payable on all irrigable land within the scheme boundaries shall be $10.00 an irrigable hectare a year. The basic charge is intended to recover within 40 years half the cost of construction of the scheme distribution works together with interest at an approved rate.
2. The water availability charge which replaces the basic charge for each farm when a farm development plan has been agreed upon shall be:
   (a) For border dyke irrigation—$1,000.00 a season for one roster day each week;
   (b) For spray irrigation—$20.00 a year for each litre per second continuous supply.
3. Reductions shall be made to the charges given in 1, 2 (a), and 2 (b) above during the first six irrigation seasons so that the charges for the first seven seasons shall be as shown on the table which follows:

4. Basis of allocation—For border dyke irrigation one roster day per week will be sufficient for about 75 hectares or irrigable land. For spray irrigation 50 l/s continuous supply will be sufficient for about 90 hectares of irrigable land.
5. Restrictions on water use—Withdrawals from the Waiau River will be reduced in times of low river flow in accordance with a management plan to be approved by the National Water and Soil Conservation Authority.
6. Adjustments to water charges—After the seventh season of water availability, both basic and availability charges may be adjusted annually to take account of variations between estimated and actual construction costs, variations between estimated and actual costs for operation, maintenance and renewals, changes in interest rates with Rural Banking and Finance Corporation, and variations in quantity of water used or subject to availability agreements.

Dated at Wellington this 14th day of April 1975.
