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:

As the assets come to end of life, SA Water as the owner will be responsible for decommissioning of these assets. There are no expected asset write down costs to SA Water related to Labor's election commitment to transfer all Tea Tree Gully Community Wastewater Management System customers to SA Water by 1 July 2022.

Under the state-wide pricing structure that applies to SA Water, Tea Tree Gully customers will pay the same price as other customers for wastewater services. The transfer of assets and decommissioning will not affect what Tea Tree Gully customers pay.
