Dubbo Water Contamination 2016
Dear Dubbo Regional Council,
Can you please provide me with all documents relating to the water pollution event within this LGA?
Some specific questions:
- What was the level of e-coli contamination within the water?
- Does DRC have knowledge of any residents becoming ill after coming in contact with the water?
- How often does council test the water?
- When did council first know of the e-coli contamination?
- Why did council take so long to present the information to the public?
- What expenditure was used to provide bottled water to key customers?
- What decisions were made to not discount or waive residents water usage charges for this period?
Yours faithfully,
Dubbo Resident
