SA WATER

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:21): During question time today I took on notice a question asked by the Hon. Michelle Lensink. By leave of the council, I can give a very quick response now, if that is what is wished.

Leave granted.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: In relation to a question asked by the Hon. Ms Lensink, which I took on notice earlier, about interruption to a water supply to a property in Kent Town, I can advise that a contractor employed by SA Water to put a new connection into a property in Kent Town unfortunately disconnected the wrong supply. I can only assume that it was an adjoining property or that the meters were close by. My understanding is that supply was interrupted for less than half an hour and then fully reinstated.

The Hon. G.E. Gago: So the real facts come out.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Indeed.
