          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK:</by>  As part of Labor's election policy document, 'Taking control of the CWMS', from 1 July 2022 all previous Tea Tree Gully council community wastewater management system customers were transferred to SA Water for billing purposes. The 2022 budget lists the cost of this as being $3.3 million over two years. My questions for the minister are:</text>
        <text id="202207072f8bf47a5e8e451380000466">1.&amp;#x9;Are there any asset writedown costs, liabilities or any other accounting implications that will transfer to SA Water as a result of Labor's election commitment to transfer all customers by 1 July 2022?</text>
        <text id="202207072f8bf47a5e8e451380000467">2.&amp;#x9;If so, what are the details of these, including any estimated and/or actual costs and a breakdown of how much, and what will be the impact on customer bills as a result?</text>
        <text id="202207072f8bf47a5e8e451380000468">3.&amp;#x9;What are the details of the arrangement with the council to allow the transfer, and did the council provide any financial contribution?</text>
        <text id="202207072f8bf47a5e8e451380000469">4.&amp;#x9;Will the time line of the physical transfer of customers continue as planned under the SA Water sustainable sewers program?</text>
        <text id="202207072f8bf47a5e8e451380000470">5.&amp;#x9;What is the breakdown of the $3.3 million? What are the components and costings for each of those?</text>
