West Coast Water Supply

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (16:02): I have a supplementary question. Did the minister meet with landowners to discuss the very poor quality of SA Water's water supply to the Far West Coast?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (16:02): In fact, when I spoke to people about SA Water's water supply to the Far West Coast they actually wanted it. They are not connected; they are connected through West Water, I think it is called, and they actually want SA Water's water supply and we are undertaking a process with them, just like we are at Skye, to work out what that would cost for them to connect. They actually want SA Water's high quality water supply.
