WATER SALINITY LEVELS — DENMARK AND ALBANY TAP-WATER
The minister will be aware that Denmark was placed on level 5 water restrictions on 1 January 2008 and is now wholly reliant on carted water and water drawn from the Denmark River. Given the Water Corporation’s commitment to provide a safe, high-quality product that consistently meets the Australian drinking water guidelines, I ask — (1) What is the current salinity level present in Denmark’s unfiltered tap-water? (2) What is the current salinity level present in Albany’s unfiltered tap-water? (3) Does the quality and safety of Denmark’s tap-water meet Australian drinking water guidelines? Mr J.C. KOBELKE
