I thank the Minister of State. That is positive news and I am sure the people of Barndarrig will be pleased to hear of the progress. They have been incredibly patient and having a "Do not consume" notice during a pandemic has been incredibly difficult. Following our previous discussion, the people of Barndarrig were eager to see the notice lifted so the news is positive.

The Minster of State has said there is monitoring equipment in place at the moment. Will the capital investment be in place in two months or will the equipment be in place in that timeframe? It is good news for the people in Barndarrig if what he said comes to pass. It appears that once the "Do not consume" notice is lifted, all precautions will be put in place so that those people do not have to endure another period of discomfort and difficulty over their water supply. I thank the Minister of State for the information. Will he give me a little more detail on the capital investment and equipment? Will he confirm that treatment equipment is going in? Will he also confirm the timelines?
