HUNTER Legislative Council Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change Water Quality The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change): The Minister for Water and the River Murray has received the following advice: SA Water continues to work with relevant agencies (DPTI, DEWNR/NRM and EPA) to ensure planning policies and on-ground implementation of adequate water development controls take regard of water quality protection in the drinking water supply catchments. With appropriate development and catchment management, there is no evidence to suggest that increases in chlorine dosing will be required to treat the drinking water, or that Trihalomethane (THM) concentrations will increase. SA Water publishes a Drinking Water Quality Report each year to provide transparency of performance of water quality against the health requirements.
