REMINDER WASTEWATER SURVEY

Dear Community Member,
 
Thanks to those who have completed the survey and particularly to those who have made comments. The survey closes this coming weekend and we encourage all those who have not yet made a response to do so.
 
The link is here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SI_Waste_Water
 
The results of this survey we will publish shortly after it closes and they will form the next step in our strategic approach to this issue. The timing of the release of our survey results will also correspond to the release of the much awaited IPART recommendation on whether or not the Priority Sewerage Program should remain in Sydney Water’s Operating License .
 
Thanks
SIRA Committee



A Letter to the Editor:


Dear Sir,

I note, with some concerns, that we are once again required to sign up to the water line service, and,  inter alia, affirming our recognition that such water is Non-Potable.

I fear that this absurdity is about to spread further amongst the Off-Shore community.

Can we look forward to:

Pay Ausgrid for electricity supply, on the proviso we don’t turn on our lights!

Pay Church Point Ferries for multi-trip fares, and agree to only use(and pay) the Pink WaterTaxis.

Seek approval from the Council for installation of a bio-cycle system, and have such granted with the proviso that we never use the toilet.

Have on-going phone bills from Telstra, and agree to them removing the lines.

Book the Community Hall, for a family party, and agree that no actual people, or dogs, will visit the premises.

Pay levies to SIRA for a set number of trips in the Community Vehicle, and acknowledge the new announcement that it is prohibited from travelling on any Island roads.

Ah, what a brave new world!

Yours most sincerely,
Disgusted, of Tunbridge Wells.
