SA WATER

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg) (14:42): My question is to the Minister for Water and the River Murray. Is the minister aware of a complaint to SA Water claiming that a Victorian company, Rangedale Drainage Services, has stolen millions of litres of water? Rangedale Drainage Services had a contract with SA Water to clean sewers. A condition of that contract was that the use of water supplied by SA Water and that access be via a metered standpipe. The opposition is informed that RDS has taken water directly from the mains water supply, avoiding metering and therefore payment.

The Hon. P. CAICA (Colton—Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:43): All I can say is that I'm not aware of that and I would be very interested in any further information that the honourable member can pass on to me so that I will be better equipped to make my particular inquiries.
