Does Hon Robyn McSweeney not get on with her neighbours? Hon Robyn McSweeney : No, they don’t exist any more. Hon KIM CHANCE : The Water Corporation is responsible for the supply of water to the metered boundary of a property. The property owner is responsible for the condition and maintenance of the internal water service. (1) Two occasions - 13 April 2005 and 1 May 2006. (2) On both occasions, the owner, the Department of Housing and Works, advised of leaks that had been previously repaired by a licensed plumber in order to apply for a leak allowance. (3) The status of the account was fully paid. (4) The Water Corporation did not take any action to deny or reduce the flow, presumably because the account was fully paid.
