Show Notes
Dunsborough Primary School in Western Australia grapples with exorbitant water bills, totaling over $135,000 annually, significantly higher than neighboring schools. The school, serving 700 students, relies on a single slow bore for water, leading to a massive water usage. Despite implementing water-saving measures, the school faces a $21,000 bill even during holidays, diverting funds from essential programs. Local MP Libby Mettam advocates for a switch to a local supplier or non-potable supply to reduce costs. The Cook government is investigating the issue and working on solutions to alleviate the financial burden.
