This is my last question to the Department. One of the issues the committee has to consider is that of a charge for excess or wasteful use of water. There are two relevant questions that I think we are all interested in. Depending on where one pegs average household or personal use, what would be the potential revenue stream from it versus the cost of administering such a scheme? Depending on the estimate of average household use, is the Department examining what such a stream could raise versus what it would cost to administer it in terms of building enforcement?
