(Question No 1260)

Mr Cornwell asked the Minister for Disability, Housing and Community Services, upon notice:

In relation to A.C.T. public housing properties and water saving measures:

(1) Have bathrooms in all A.C.T. Government housing properties been fitted with water saving shower roses to assist with water waste reduction;

(2) If not, why not.

Mr Wood: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) No.

(2) It is standard Housing ACT policy to fit AAA water saving shower heads to existing properties undergoing major upgrade, for new properties being designed and constructed, and when replacing faulty shower heads in other properties. Other water saving features such as dual flush toilets are also installed on the same basis.
