Like I said, member, Water
Corporation has offered its expertise. It is not an issue around source or
water supply in terms of our network. After coming back to work today I asked
for further advice around the department and Water Corporation in terms of that
source so that I have a briefing note in front of me. But the advice I have
been provided to date—it was a verbal briefing to me—is that
this was not an issue for the Water Corporation or the Department of Water; it
is the responsibility of the contractor.
