Legislative Council Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Water Meters Water Meters The Hon. J.A. DARLEY Legislative Council Water Meters The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (15:19): I have a supplementary question. Basically my question was: why can't the actual meter reading be printed on the account albeit the amount payable is shared by the people owning the properties? The Hon. I.K. HUNTER Legislative Council Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change Water Meters The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (15:20): My understanding is that SA Water accounts do have a record of how much water has been utilised, and that's the basis of the billing. My understanding is that is what is provided in terms of the information—the amount of water that has been used. I imagine that's directly corresponding to the meter reading minus the previous meter reading.
