I am sure the witnesses have heard, because committee members have heard it a lot, that the pump stations are not working or people have to travel quite some distance to pump out or to get water and basic services. If these by-laws were to be introduced, what would be the timeline to install the infrastructure that is not in existence at the moment and to bring up to standard the infrastructure and services that are there but may not be working properly? Are the witnesses able to set that out clearly to give people some confidence as to when it will happen?
