At the meeting, Council also revealed a draft review of Young's water services by supply managers Goldenfields Water County Council.

Young Council said the draft poses "unfair and inequitable" supply price increases and possible Council job losses.

Young Council restrictions confine the use of fixed hoses and sprinklers to 6 and 9 in the mornings and evenings, with Council's December figures showing water usage is 20 per cent higher than the monthly average, at 6.5 megalitres per day.

GWCC, who supply water in bulk to Cootamundra, Harden and Young while managing the Coolamon, Temora, Bland, Junee and Narrandera Shires' water, says water use is increasing across the region due to dry weather conditions.

80 per cent of their services now operate at unsustainable allocation levels.

Now, a draft review of GWCC operations for the NSW Water Utilities Minister David Campbell poses six recommendations to the pricing structure and operational issues.

Three recommendations tabled at last week's Young Council meeting by Deputy Mayor and GWCC Councillor John McGregor suggests the amalgamation of all GWCC services or bulk supply cost increase options of either 80 per cent over three years or 30 per cent.

This review has angered Young Council who moved to "vehemently oppose" the proposal, saying it aims to shift the cost of providing unsustainable services to areas which are more sustainable, in an unfair and inequitable way.

Young Council Utilities Services Group Leader, Phillip Glover said the "cost shifting" exercise proposes "substantial price increases" to supply water to the district if they do not amalgamate, and that the options would decrease the quality of services provided.

"The current amalgamation proposal would result an increase in prices and would not match current services," Mr Glover said.

"Goldfields is looking to increase their customer base and shift the supply cost from one customer to another," he said.
