WATER BILLING

Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop) (14:52): My question is to the Treasurer. Has SA Water engaged contractors in the past week to upgrade the computer system to manage refunds for the SA Water overcharges? How long will this work take and what is the expected cost?

The Hon. K.A. MAYWALD (Chaffey—Minister for the River Murray, Minister for Water Security, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Small Business, Minister Assisting the Minister for Industry and Trade) (14:52): SA Water has undertaken to advise government on the method it will use to reimburse the overpayment of accounts as a consequence of the misunderstanding between the starting date of these increases. It will be advising government and we will bring that information back to the house.
