WATERPROOFING WHYALLA

In reply to the Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (24 September 2013).

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation): As the Minister for Water and the River Murray I have received this advice:

SA Water has met all of its contractual obligations.

SA Water has more than enough supply to meet the daily irrigation demands of the City of Whyalla and the Whyalla Golf Club. The water suppled from the Whyalla Water Reclamation plant meets all criteria set by the Department of Health and Ageing.

SA Water will continue to work with council to assist it resolve issues experienced in the operation of its expanded recycled water system.
