WATER RECYCLING

In reply to Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (5 July 2011).

The Hon. P. CAICA (Colton—Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for the River Murray, Minister for Water): I am advised:

1. Within the last financial year, 506ml of recycled water was used from the Glenelg to Adelaide Parklands Recycled Water pipeline.

2. To date, 26 organisations have committed to recycled water usage, totalling 1,539ml/annum. These customers include councils, schools and businesses.

It should be noted that some committed customers are not presently taking water are making the necessary alterations and modifications to their on-property systems. It is expected that these customers will commence using recycled water this summer.
