AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1) The Department of Health supported the proposed Lakeside subdivision subject to the following conditions: water would need to be supplied at class A pathogen-free standard to all residential customers; preliminary testing of the existing lake water would need to be undertaken for microbial pathogens to identify the levels of treatment and pre-commissioning testing required; and a full hazard analysis critical control point based risk assessment proposal needs to be provided. (2) The conditions placed on non-potable water use in a subdivision will depend on how the water is to be used, from where the water is sourced and the treatment methods and proposed water quality. (3) If the conditions in (1) are met, the water from Lily Creek can be used for the purposes outlined in the proposal. (4) The Department of Health allows water to be used for landscaping and similar purposes as long as it meets the minimum health standards and approval has been given.
