QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Thomas Road bore in Nannup, and I ask -
(1) Does WaterCorp still intend for this bore to return to its supplementary role for the Bridgetown Regional Water Supply Scheme once works at the Millstream dam are complete?
(2) If yes to (1), when does WaterCorp anticipate this will take place?
(3) If no to (1), what is the justification for retaining the current level of extraction at the Thomas Road bore site?
(4) Does WaterCorp still plan for the water from that bore to be treated by salt-water electrolysis?
(5) If no to (4) -
(a) what process will be used to treat the water; and
(b) at which location will this treatment take place?
(6) Will the Minister please explain the purpose of the stockpile of chlorine at the site?
(7) If the water is now proposed to be treated by chlorination at the Thomas Road bore site, will the Minister please table the written guarantee that residents received that this would not be happening?
