200 km Yarragadee cheaper than from Perth Hills

The Governement is determined to kill off the concept of bringing water from the Kimberley so much so it has grossly distorted the costs in its official costings.

95 cents a kilolitre to bring water 200 km from Yarragadee.

$ 1.16 a kilolitre from the Perth Hills to the consumers taps,

for the third and final stage of bringing Kimberley water from the Perth hills to our taps. http://dows.lincdigital.com.au/Kimberley_Water_Source.asp appendix4

The Government have told us that the cost is the central issue in water supply.

They assess costs.

Who checks their costings ?
