Mr. David Wright:

It is a type of "nor" argument, and it really has to be an "and". If I thought people complied with laws and regulations and were not being taken to court we would have the best drivers in Europe driving on our roads and behaving themselves. In reality that has to be there, because it will have zero impact on a certain number of people no matter what one says or how often it is said. That process is there. The vast majority of people respond when they understand what is coming in, what average use is and understand their role. I want to go a step further and help them understand the source of that water and what is happening on the lands around the water, and to understand that we are taking treated water and putting it into a sewerage system to be treated again, and that that costs more than the original production. There is a huge educational task to undertake. I am very clear that there must be an incentive. The thrust should be on engagement, involvement at a community level and the education that goes with it. The meter does help that education process. I know that Ms Linnane has things to say about water protection as well.
