          <by role="member" id="3121">Mr PENGILLY (Finniss) (14:39):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Environment and Conservation. Will the minister advise the house why the Environment Protection Authority will not withdraw its licence to discharge water from the Victor Harbor Waste Water Treatment Plant into the Inman River, thereby forcing SA Water to find further alternative re-use options for the thousands of megalitres of water that are being produced each year?</text>

        <text id="200906049a6389a163fd41c3a0000443">For many years, the former effluent disposal dam and its successor, the Victor Harbor WasteWater Treatment Plant, have dumped treated effluent water into the Inman River. It is a matter of great concern to many Victor Harbor inhabitants. The organic levels in the river are high, and the community wish to know when the situation will be alleviated by further uses.</text>
