Water and Sewerage Infrastructure

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (14:31): I understand that 70 per cent of Adelaide's reticulated supply is through Fibrolite asbestos cement pipes. Can the minister advise: what is the average age of these pipes and what is the average lifetime expectancy of such pipes?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:32): Indeed, sir, I do have that answer. I do have that answer, in fact, but I can't put my hands on it immediately. I will take that on notice. If I can bring it back this question time, I will attempt to do so.
