SA Water

83 Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (20 June 2018). Has SA Water briefed the minister on any additional risks to public health as a result of opening up drinking water reservoirs?

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Minister for Environment and Water): I have been advised:

The government has established a cross-government task force to plan and coordinate the opening up of a number of reservoirs for recreational activities. Ensuring ongoing quality of water supply is an important part of the work this taskforce will be looking at and it will seek advice from SA Health where appropriate.
