Water Quality

In reply to the Hon. M.C. PARNELL (19 September 2018).

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services): The Department for Environment and Water has advised:

SA Water continues to undertake a SA Health approved and comprehensive routine drinking water quality testing program, where they collect the same water quality data now as in previous years.

I am advised that SA Water currently publishes a comprehensive suite of water quality data in its Annual Report, and also on its website and on Data SA.

I understand SA Water has a 'Water Quality Data Request' process where customers can request specific water quality data without the need for freedom of information requests, and I have sought assurances from SA Water that this process is as accessible as possible for members of the community.
