What next from Water Corp?

People are curious as to weather the new water minister (Mr Jacobs) will do the right thing by the people. Labor turned a blind eye to using Wellington Dam as a source for drinking water, even after their pathetic excuses were ignored by the public. At least Mr Jacobs has recognised the South-West's biggest water source would probably be needed as a potable water source before 2015. It's a total waste to be pumping potable water out to sea, or seeing the dam overflow 5 out of 6 years, yet the people were told it no longer rains in the south-west.


Mr Coyne had previously shown the labor government how his company could produce potable drinking water through reverse-osmosis, but Water Corp were insistant that another desalination plant was the answer. It was quite obvious Water Corp saw a way to charge the public through the nose, we pay usage quarterly plus rates, just where is that money going?? The amount of pipes that have burst through lack of maitenance or not being replaced when needed, does anyone know what their doing.

When will the public get the truth about where the water will come from to supply two water guzzling industries under constrution in the south-west? The Water Corporation recently stated they need more water from the Gnangara mound, despite repeated warnings wetlands across Perth could die because of the strain on the ground water system.

They believe they'll require just over 140 GL from "Gnangara" this financial year. If they had carried out their job in clearing under growth at the dams, so the run-off could enter the dams there wouldn't be these problems. Instead it seems its easier to create irrepairable damage to the mounds, wetlands and aquifers and call it Global Warming. Maybe its time to tell Rudd to close the door to immigrants and refugees because we can't sustain those already here.
