Mr HENDERSON - 2005-08-25
Mr HENDERSON (Business and Economic Development): Madam Speaker, in relation to the question from the member for Katherine to my colleague, the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, in regards to the Infrastructure Report Card and the notation in there of E. coli in the water samples in Daly Waters and Elliott. These samples were taken early in 2004.
The advice I have, and it is important for the residents of Daly Waters and Elliott, my department of Power and Water have put a lot of effort into these two communities. For the 2004-05 financial year, there hasve been 100% of samples in both of those communities with nil E. coli. There was a problem, however, as the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport said, Power and Water constantly monitor the public water supply across the Northern Territory. Those issues have been resolved in those two communities.
