I thank the member for some notice of this question. This is a very long answer that covers more than one full page of material, so I seek leave to have the answer incorporated into Hansard . Leave granted. [See paper 3209.] The following material was incorporated — I thank the Hon. Member for some notice of this question. The Minister for Water has provided the following response. 1) This information can be found in the recently completed (draft) Pilbara Planning and Infrastructure Framework, Feb 2011, by the Department of Planning. The towns of Dampier, Karratha, Wickham, Roebourne, and Point Sampson source water from the Water Corporation's West Pilbara Water Supply Scheme (WPWSS). The water supply scheme within the town of Dampier is operated by Pilbara Iron (Rio Tinto) under a bulk water supply agreement with the Water Corporation. The existing source water for this scheme is provided by the Harding Dam and the Millstream well field. The water supply schemes for the towns of Tom Price and Paraburdoo are not operated by the Water Corporation. The schemes are operated by Pilbara Iron and as such the Corporation has little knowledge of these schemes. Responses to the remaining questions will not include information relating to Tom Price and Paraburdoo. 2) The 2009/2010 Water Year (September-September) residential consumption for the following towns are (this does not include commercial or light industrial consumption): Dampier - Unknown, due to the bulk water supply agreement with Pilbara Iron, however, is estimated to be in the order of 866,000 kL/year (~0.87 GL/year) Karratha Approximately - 3,383,380 kL/year (~3.38 GL/year). Roebourne Approximately - 192,460 kL/year (~0.19 GL/year). Wickham Approximately - 429,810 kL/year (~0.43 GL/year). Point Sampson Approximately - 84,440 kL/year (0.08 GL/year). 3) The WPWSS has a conjunctive scheme licence and capacity of 15,000,000 kL/year (15 GL/year). However, the long-term sustainable limit has been set by the water regulator (Department of Water) at 10 GL/year. 4) Estimates on town consumption within the next five years are highly volatile due to the uncertain nature of proposed projects within the scheme. However, a conservative estimate for each of the towns by 2015/2016 could range between: Karratha - between approximately - 4,456,190 kL/year (~4.46 GL/year) and 7,851,530 kL/year (~7.85 GL/year) Roebourne - between approximately - 263,930 kL/year (~0.26 GL/year) and 922,250 kL/year (~0.92 GL/year) Wickham - between approximately - 436,060 kL/year (~0.44 GL/year) & 771,800 kL/year (~ 0.77 GL/year) Point Sampson - between approximately - 90,675 kL/year (~0.09 GL/year) & 85,790 kL/year (~ 0.09 GL/year) 5) The 2009/2010 Water Year (September - September) industrial, commercial, and other non-residential consumption within the WPWSS was: Industrial 5,563,630 kL/a (5.56 GL/a) Commercial 1,670,040 kL/a (1.67 GL/a) Other 1,157,190 kL/a (1.16 GL/a) 6) This information is subjected to particular advice from the various industrial customers within the WPWSS. The scheme can supply the contracted quantity of water to the existing non-residential customers. However, no provision has been made within the scheme to increase this service category unless provided by the industrial customer. Industrial customers fund scheme expansions when requesting additional water.

Point Sampson Approximately - 84,440 kL/year (0.08 GL/year). 3) The WPWSS has a conjunctive scheme licence and capacity of 15,000,000 kL/year (15 GL/year). However, the long-term sustainable limit has been set by the water regulator (Department of Water) at 10 GL/year. 4) Estimates on town consumption within the next five years are highly volatile due to the uncertain nature of proposed projects within the scheme. However, a conservative estimate for each of the towns by 2015/2016 could range between: Karratha - between approximately - 4,456,190 kL/year (~4.46 GL/year) and 7,851,530 kL/year (~7.85 GL/year) Roebourne - between approximately - 263,930 kL/year (~0.26 GL/year) and 922,250 kL/year (~0.92 GL/year) Wickham - between approximately - 436,060 kL/year (~0.44 GL/year) & 771,800 kL/year (~ 0.77 GL/year) Point Sampson - between approximately - 90,675 kL/year (~0.09 GL/year) & 85,790 kL/year (~ 0.09 GL/year) 5) The 2009/2010 Water Year (September - September) industrial, commercial, and other non-residential consumption within the WPWSS was: Industrial 5,563,630 kL/a (5.56 GL/a) Commercial 1,670,040 kL/a (1.67 GL/a) Other 1,157,190 kL/a (1.16 GL/a) 6) This information is subjected to particular advice from the various industrial customers within the WPWSS. The scheme can supply the contracted quantity of water to the existing non-residential customers. However, no provision has been made within the scheme to increase this service category unless provided by the industrial customer. Industrial customers fund scheme expansions when requesting additional water.

The towns of Dampier, Karratha, Wickham, Roebourne, and Point Sampson source water from the Water Corporation's West Pilbara Water Supply Scheme (WPWSS). The water supply scheme within the town of Dampier is operated by Pilbara Iron (Rio Tinto) under a bulk water supply agreement with the Water Corporation. The existing source water for this scheme is provided by the Harding Dam and the Millstream well field. The water supply schemes for the towns of Tom Price and Paraburdoo are not operated by the Water Corporation. The schemes are operated by Pilbara Iron and as such the Corporation has little knowledge of these schemes. Responses to the remaining questions will not include information relating to Tom Price and Paraburdoo. 2) The 2009/2010 Water Year (September-September) residential consumption for the following towns are (this does not include commercial or light industrial consumption): Dampier - Unknown, due to the bulk water supply agreement with Pilbara Iron, however, is estimated to be in the order of 866,000 kL/year (~0.87 GL/year) Karratha Approximately - 3,383,380 kL/year (~3.38 GL/year). Roebourne Approximately - 192,460 kL/year (~0.19 GL/year). Wickham Approximately - 429,810 kL/year (~0.43 GL/year). Point Sampson Approximately - 84,440 kL/year (0.08 GL/year). 3) The WPWSS has a conjunctive scheme licence and capacity of 15,000,000 kL/year (15 GL/year). However, the long-term sustainable limit has been set by the water regulator (Department of Water) at 10 GL/year. 4) Estimates on town consumption within the next five years are highly volatile due to the uncertain nature of proposed projects within the scheme. However, a conservative estimate for each of the towns by 2015/2016 could range between: Karratha - between approximately - 4,456,190 kL/year (~4.46 GL/year) and 7,851,530 kL/year (~7.85 GL/year) Roebourne - between approximately - 263,930 kL/year (~0.26 GL/year) and 922,250 kL/year (~0.92 GL/year) Wickham - between approximately - 436,060 kL/year (~0.44 GL/year) & 771,800 kL/year (~ 0.77 GL/year) Point Sampson - between approximately - 90,675 kL/year (~0.09 GL/year) & 85,790 kL/year (~ 0.09 GL/year) 5) The 2009/2010 Water Year (September - September) industrial, commercial, and other non-residential consumption within the WPWSS was: Industrial 5,563,630 kL/a (5.56 GL/a) Commercial 1,670,040 kL/a (1.67 GL/a) Other 1,157,190 kL/a (1.16 GL/a) 6) This information is subjected to particular advice from the various industrial customers within the WPWSS.

(1) From what sources do these towns draw their domestic potable water supply? (2) What is the current average annual domestic water usage of each of these towns? (3) What is the current maximum annual deliverable capacity of these water sources? (4) What is the estimated annual domestic demand by these towns for each of the next five years? (5) What is the current industrial water usage from these same sources? (6) What is the estimated annual industrial water demand from these same sources for the next five years? Hon HELEN MORTON replied: I thank the member for some notice of this question. This is a very long answer that covers more than one full page of material, so I seek leave to have the answer incorporated into Hansard . Leave granted. [See paper 3209.] The following material was incorporated — I thank the Hon. Member for some notice of this question. The Minister for Water has provided the following response. 1) This information can be found in the recently completed (draft) Pilbara Planning and Infrastructure Framework, Feb 2011, by the Department of Planning. The towns of Dampier, Karratha, Wickham, Roebourne, and Point Sampson source water from the Water Corporation's West Pilbara Water Supply Scheme (WPWSS). The water supply scheme within the town of Dampier is operated by Pilbara Iron (Rio Tinto) under a bulk water supply agreement with the Water Corporation. The existing source water for this scheme is provided by the Harding Dam and the Millstream well field. The water supply schemes for the towns of Tom Price and Paraburdoo are not operated by the Water Corporation. The schemes are operated by Pilbara Iron and as such the Corporation has little knowledge of these schemes. Responses to the remaining questions will not include information relating to Tom Price and Paraburdoo. 2) The 2009/2010 Water Year (September-September) residential consumption for the following towns are (this does not include commercial or light industrial consumption): Dampier - Unknown, due to the bulk water supply agreement with Pilbara Iron, however, is estimated to be in the order of 866,000 kL/year (~0.87 GL/year) Karratha Approximately - 3,383,380 kL/year (~3.38 GL/year). Roebourne Approximately - 192,460 kL/year (~0.19 GL/year). Wickham Approximately - 429,810 kL/year (~0.43 GL/year). Point Sampson Approximately - 84,440 kL/year (0.08 GL/year). 3) The WPWSS has a conjunctive scheme licence and capacity of 15,000,000 kL/year (15 GL/year). However, the long-term sustainable limit has been set by the water regulator (Department of Water) at 10 GL/year. 4) Estimates on town consumption within the next five years are highly volatile due to the uncertain nature of proposed projects within the scheme. However, a conservative estimate for each of the towns by 2015/2016 could range between: Karratha - between approximately - 4,456,190 kL/year (~4.46 GL/year) and 7,851,530 kL/year (~7.85 GL/year) Roebourne - between approximately - 263,930 kL/year (~0.26 GL/year) and 922,250 kL/year (~0.92 GL/year) Wickham - between approximately - 436,060 kL/year (~0.44 GL/year) & 771,800 kL/year (~ 0.77 GL/year) Point Sampson - between approximately - 90,675 kL/year (~0.09 GL/year) & 85,790 kL/year (~ 0.09 GL/year) 5) The 2009/2010 Water Year (September - September) industrial, commercial, and other non-residential consumption within the WPWSS was: Industrial 5,563,630 kL/a (5.56 GL/a) Commercial 1,670,040 kL/a (1.67 GL/a) Other 1,157,190 kL/a (1.16 GL/a) 6) This information is subjected to particular advice from the various industrial customers within the WPWSS.
