Dr WOODRUFF - Okay. That's concerning for that community. I'll have to follow that up. Another question which is about the Mary Ann's Island proposal for treatment of - a $6 million recycled treatment plant in Kingston. Mary Massina who's involved in that project was on radio the other day and she said that TasWater are, quote:
On board with the proposal and that there's a supply agreement between TasWater and Mary Ann's Island for that land.
Is that the case and can you please tell me where that's up to?
Mr INGHAM - Yes, sure. The agreement's been executed and I can't share any of the details of the pricing because it's commercial-in-confidence but we were supportive of the proposal. It provided really good environmental outcomes and made a lot of sense from our perspective.
Dr WOODRUFF - And I assume that would be at no cost to TasWater?
Mr INGHAM - Yes.
Dr WOODRUFF - And she also mentioned a range of environmental KPIs that the company is required to meet for TasWater's requirements. Can you discuss what they are? What sort of KPIs would they be?
Mr INGHAM - Matt, are you aware of those KPIs?
Mr DERBYSHIRE - It would just be a certain class of water, I assume, that we're providing.
Mr INGHAM - Yes.
Dr WOODRUFF - So it's class 2 - a level 2 activity, I think. Is that right?
Mr DERBYSHIRE - Class B water.
Dr WOODRUFF - Class B.
Mr DERBYSHIRE - Yes.
Dr WOODRUFF - Yes, so the standard requirements for that category, nothing specific?
Mr DERBYSHIRE - Treated to a certain specification essentially.
Dr WOODRUFF - Okay. All right, thanks.
Mr THEO - I just realised you're talking about South Arm.
Dr WOODRUFF - South Arm but yes, but we're talking about the Kingston part of it. Is TasWater involved on the South Arm side as well?
Mr THEO - So my apologies because I did not - the customer code or contract is an implied one; it is on the website. It's what I would refer to as a deemed contract between customers and TasWater which talks to our respective obligations to each other.
Ms WHITE - How many complaints do you have about these type of connections?
Mr THEO - I'll have to get that information to you but I wouldn't imagine it's that many.
Ms WHITE - I'll put those questions on notice, then.
Dr WOODRUFF - Mr Theo, maybe I misheard you but I thought you said before that Mary Ann's Island are putting their facility on TasWater's land and then you corrected yourself and said on their land.
Mr THEO - Adjacent.
Dr WOODRUFF - Adjacent land, but you said 'their land', and then you said, 'but on the radio Mary Massina said it was a lease agreement'.
Mr THEO - It's TasWater land adjacent to the sewerage treatment plant and there's a leasing agreement for the land, where they will install their treatment facility and obviously we also make the water available to them for the purpose of on-treating it for their end use.
Dr WOODRUFF - Okay. Is there some rental cost for that?
Mr THEO - Yes.
Dr WOODRUFF - A standard commercial arrangement or is it case by case?
Mr THEO - It's mutually agreed. I couldn't tell you what the number is but as Kane said earlier, we've executed an agreement between the parties which is to both parties' expectations for lease and also for cost for the water they're taking.
Dr WOODRUFF - What type of water is it called?
Mr DERBYSHIRE - Class B.
Dr WOODRUFF - Okay, because Ms Massina has been calling it class A water.
Mr DERBYSHIRE - I think the facility that George is talking about is where they polish it to class A.
Dr WOODRUFF - Well, it's to use class A waters is how she's described it, which is not what you just said.
Mr DERBYSHIRE - The EPA require class A if you're going to use recycled water on things like golf courses.
Dr WOODRUFF - Yes, it needs to be -
Mr DERBYSHIRE - Not pose a public health risk.
Dr WOODRUFF - Okay.
