Hunter Water's Customer and Community Advisory Group

Hunter Water Community update Autumn Edition 2018 in my letterbox had information regarding this. I quote"temporary desalination plant will only be built if water storage levels fall below 35%, and Hunter Water has implemented all other water efficiency measures" But the website hunterwater.com.au/tempdesal has "Construction would be a measure of last resort after a number of water saving measures." What is it? ALL measures or a number of measures? FIxing leaks, dual flush tiolets, water saving shower heads awesome! BUT If the connection fee/service charge was removed from our water bills and you only paid per litre of water you acually used it would be a huge water efficiency measure. People would save water because it would be more expensive per litre. So the average person would pay the same to hunter water per year. But those wasting/using more water would pay more, and those using less would pay more. There is next to no incentive to save water (except for being a good citizen that doesn't want more dams or desal plants built) with it being so cheap as it is per litre at the moment. When is HUnter water going to implement this "User pays" water efficiency measures? Either way Hunter Water needs to clear up this confusion of a hardcopy newsletter and website information which is misleading and possibly contradictory.
