One of these days we will get an answer to a question. Hope springs eternal in the human breast when I ask this question. (1) What was the consumption of water on a per capita basis in - (a) the Perth statistical division, and (b) the total integrated water supply scheme in each of the financial years 2000-01 and 2001-02? (2) Will the minister explain to the House the reasons for the Government choosing the figure of 155 kilolitres per person per annum as its target for future water consumption? Hon NICK GRIFFITHS
AnswerView source ↗
I am disappointed that the Leader of the Opposition is disappointed in the answers he is getting, because he is getting very comprehensive answers, and I am doing my best to make sure that he gets them. Earlier today I was given an answer to the question asked by the Leader of the Opposition, and I was not happy with that answer. I received the final form of the answer - with which I am happy - only a few minutes ago. I do my best. The Water Corporation has provided the following information - (1) (a) 185 kilolitres for 2000-01 and 152 kilolitres for 2001-02. (b) 195 kilolitres for 2000-01 and 162 kilolitres for 2001-02. (2) The figure of 155 kilolitres was chosen because it was considered that this level of consumption represented efficient water use for the community. The strategies to achieve this target will be multifaceted and will require changed behaviour from customers; progressive changes to urban land forms and land use; greater penetration of water efficient appliances; greater water use efficiency in industry; and substitution of high quality scheme water with reclaimed water and lower quality bore water for industrial use and the greening of public open space. In addition, information from the domestic water use study, which was completed by the Water Corporation before restrictions were introduced - I refer to the two-day sprinkler regime, which came into operation in September 2001 - revealed some useful information. By far the biggest use of water was in the garden. The average residential property consumes approximately 250 kilolitres of water outside the house, which is independent of the number of people living in the property. In the home, water usage is highly dependent on the number of people living in the property, which equates approximately to 60 kilolitres of water per person per year. Using this information, it was possible to estimate the impact of the increase in charges over 550 kilolitres - Hon Norman Moore: You should have given this answer yesterday. Hon NICK GRIFFITHS: I am sure I could have given the Leader of the Opposition every last morsel of information in the answer yesterday, but he could have given me some notice. I think the Leader of the Opposition is entitled to full and comprehensive answers, and that is what I am trying to do. I will just read this out quickly, so that other members who have shown that they want to ask questions will have the opportunity within a reasonable time.

The member may wish to note that the areas of highest use in the home are in the bathroom - 14 per cent of total consumption - and the laundry - 11 per cent of the total. The rebate scheme was intended to encourage the greater adoption of water efficient appliances in these areas.

(1) What was the consumption of water on a per capita basis in - (a) the Perth statistical division, and (b) the total integrated water supply scheme in each of the financial years 2000-01 and 2001-02? (2) Will the minister explain to the House the reasons for the Government choosing the figure of 155 kilolitres per person per annum as its target for future water consumption? Hon NICK GRIFFITHS replied: I am disappointed that the Leader of the Opposition is disappointed in the answers he is getting, because he is getting very comprehensive answers, and I am doing my best to make sure that he gets them. Earlier today I was given an answer to the question asked by the Leader of the Opposition, and I was not happy with that answer. I received the final form of the answer - with which I am happy - only a few minutes ago. I do my best. The Water Corporation has provided the following information - (1) (a) 185 kilolitres for 2000-01 and 152 kilolitres for 2001-02. (b) 195 kilolitres for 2000-01 and 162 kilolitres for 2001-02. (2) The figure of 155 kilolitres was chosen because it was considered that this level of consumption represented efficient water use for the community. The strategies to achieve this target will be multifaceted and will require changed behaviour from customers; progressive changes to urban land forms and land use; greater penetration of water efficient appliances; greater water use efficiency in industry; and substitution of high quality scheme water with reclaimed water and lower quality bore water for industrial use and the greening of public open space. In addition, information from the domestic water use study, which was completed by the Water Corporation before restrictions were introduced - I refer to the two-day sprinkler regime, which came into operation in September 2001 - revealed some useful information. By far the biggest use of water was in the garden. The average residential property consumes approximately 250 kilolitres of water outside the house, which is independent of the number of people living in the property. In the home, water usage is highly dependent on the number of people living in the property, which equates approximately to 60 kilolitres of water per person per year. Using this information, it was possible to estimate the impact of the increase in charges over 550 kilolitres - Hon Norman Moore: You should have given this answer yesterday. Hon NICK GRIFFITHS: I am sure I could have given the Leader of the Opposition every last morsel of information in the answer yesterday, but he could have given me some notice. I think the Leader of the Opposition is entitled to full and comprehensive answers, and that is what I am trying to do.
