The Minister of State has been very forthcoming with his answers where the information is available to him. On the question of standing charges, my understanding is that a meter is installed and is paid for over a certain period of time. Water is supplied and any water consumed over and above the free allocation is paid for by the litre. I understand from what the Minister of State said that the standing charge will go into a fund to pay for repairs to leaking pipes and so forth. Is that correct?
