Comment on this

The proposed source of supply for the Knockaroo group water scheme is a county council well and the council were requested in August 1981 to test the yield and the quality of the well. The quality of the water is satisfactory and the results of the yield test are awaited in my Department.

The survey sheets for this scheme were submitted to my Department in August 1981 and since then my Department's inspector for the area has been in constant communication with the county council and with the promoter of the scheme.
