Water reforms from midnight tomorrow


Three SEQ bulk water entities will merge from midnight tomorrow night.

Water Supply Minister Mark McArdle said merging the three SEQ bulk water entities (Seqwater, LinkWater and the SEQ Water Grid Manager) and abolishing the Queensland Water Commission, would reduce the cost of supplying drinking water across the region.

The new entity will be known as Seqwater - the same name as one of the bodies it replaces.
 
There is no word yet on the fate of Seqwater CEO Peter Borrows and whether or not he has received the prestigious New Year's Honours Award of the Royal Order of the Boot!
