House of Assembly Fifty-Second Parliament, First Session (52-1) 52 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Water Pricing WATER PRICING Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN House of Assembly Stuart WATER PRICING Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:50): My question is to the Minister for Water. Can the minister explain why the communities of Terowie, Oodla Wirra, Yunta, Manna Hill, Olary and Cockburn must pay $11 per kilolitre for non-potable water and yet still pay the River Murray levy? The Hon. P. CAICA House of Assembly Colton Minister for Environment and Conservation Minister for the River Murray Minister for Water WATER PRICING The Hon. P. CAICA (Colton—Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for the River Murray, Minister for Water) (14:50): The cost of the non-potable water that is provided to the residents of Terowie and the other towns is, of course, reflecting the cost of the provision of that water. Quite simply, it costs money. With respect to the Save the River Murray Fund, all South Australians will continue to pay into that fund because we are committed to ensuring that this state is able to improve, and continue to improve, the level of health of the component of the River Murray for which we are responsible.
