FED:Ageing water services put health at risk
People living in regional and rural areas face health risks if more isn't done to improve
water quality.
The National Water Commission released a report today calling for an overhaul of water
management across all states and territories.
The commission said in the past four years serious concerns have been raised about
the standard of urban water services provided in rural and regional areas .. particularly
in relation to water supply planning .. public health and safety risks.
The commission was particularly concerned about the risks to human health in non-metropolitan
Queensland and New South Wales but didn't make any specific recommendations on the best
models for reform.
