SA Water

In reply to Mr COWDREY (Colton) ((23 June 2022).). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Defence and Space Industries, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water): I have been advised:

SA Water uses a different methodology for billing sewerage customers than that used by the City of Tea Tree Gully. Tea Tree Gully customers will now be subject to SA Water's state-wide pricing structures.

SA Water's methodology for calculating customer sewerage bills for 2022-23 was published in the Government Gazette on Thursday 23 June 2022 and is available on SA Water's website.

SA Water plans to complete the physical transition within the next regulated business plan period ending in 2028. This is consistent with the timing stated in the Sustainable Sewers Transition Plan released by SA Water in April 2021.
