HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:30):</by>  As I said, the agency (SA Water) is exploring opportunities to better deal with customers to issue notices on a daily basis. They are actually exploring using SMS technology to provide phone alerts; that may in fact be more efficient than utilising registered post but there will be instances, I am sure, where people do not have or do not give us their mobile phone contact, in which case it may be appropriate for registered mail to be utilised. That is a matter for SA Water to explore as they consider all those options and report back to me.</text>
