I thank Hon Ken Baston for some notice of the question. (1) Yes, it meets all pressure and flow requirements as stipulated in the Water Corporation’s operating licence. (2) FESA requirements for flow rate and pressure vary in accordance with the specific needs of individual developments, and for this reason, the responsibility to meet firefighting requirements for developments rests with lot owners. (3) The provision of levels of service - that is, pressure and flow - above that stipulated in the Water Corporation’s operating licence are provided upon application from the developers and these are funded by the developers. To date, no formal application has been received for an upgrade to this water supply.
