	Esk Shire Council
		Residents are urged to make themselves aware of the current requirements and to manage their water use to ensure they are in compliance with the water usage.
		Esk Shire Council operates six separate water supply schemes (Fernvale, Lowood, Somerset Dam, Esk, Toogoolawah and Linville) to provide water to 6,200 residents living in urban centres and rural-residential areas within the Shire.
		Council's Water Officer, with a small crew of plumbers and trainees, ensures that all treatment plants and distribution pipe work are kept in order and that the operators, who all have certificates in water treatment, keep the quality of treatment up to top standard.

		Water was transported via concrete channels and a tunnel into the head of Distillery Creek and stored in a dam a short distance downstream from the existing treatment plant.
		In 1949 the North Esk Regional Water Act was passed and the active preparation for the scheme commenced.

		A study was undertaken to collate readily available environmental data for the Black Esk catchment and the associated natural water basin, so that West of Scotland Water could assess the possible environmental impacts of changes in water supply activities.
		Four reservoirs were visited in the Black Esk Water Supply Area, namely the Black Esk Reservoir and Winterhope Reservoir, and the disused Torbeckhill Reservoir and Purdomstone Reservoir.
		Water abstraction, forestry, pastoral, arable and water quality problems were found to be the main issues affecting the reservoirs visited.

	Drinking Water Quality (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Sixteen local government water supply systems were taken off boil water alerts and the number of water supplies in compliance with national standards increased to 61 compared to 46 in 2000–01 (DHHS 2003).
		Of the 30 local government water supplies that had 'boil water alerts' in place during the reporting period, there were four systems that had temporary boil water alerts and 26 that were permanently in place because of either continuing poor water quality, or no disinfection (DHHS 2003).
		Protection of water supply catchments, which are relatively unaffected by human contact and largely free from atmospheric and environmental pollutants, is necessary to maintain the supply of high quality drinking water at a relatively low cost.

		A practical development appears to be for both the Upper St. Patricks Dam and the Camden Rivulet dam to be built but not the Lower St. Patricks Dam because of the flooded area and the amount of re-roading that would be required.
		St Patricks water flows at Nunamara near the Esk Water Extraction point are recorded for two separate periods in history.

		It has been no secret for many years that the people of the north-west coast always considered that the regional water scheme actually belonged to the people in that area, that they were only linked to a State government authority by a bill of the House in years gone past.
		I ask the question, if a water resource royalty tax is collected by a level of government, does that government then have to take some moral obligation for the supply of that water at its base, and that is at the water resource base in the mountains.
		On the day that he handed the Southern Regional Water Board over, he said that local government should look after that particular area and allow the Government of Tasmania to do what it rightly does in the areas of police, health and education, et cetera.

		The water was gradually absorbed through the lungs into the bloodstream.
		The North Esk water is quite clean, but waterlogged lungs are highly susceptible to infection, so to prevent that they gave me doses of three antibiotics every few hours, some of which I had to continue for 10 days.

	examiner.com.au : North's water use plummets (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Launceston's water usage has dropped 25 per cent over the past 10 years with the effect of two- part water pricing increasing the downward trend, water authorities said yesterday.
		West Tamar's water usage has decreased since 1980 despite a growing residential area and George Town's usage was either static or slightly down, Esk Water chief executive Barry Cash said yesterday.
		If Launceston had continued the water usage trend from 1983 to 1995, it would have been using about 15,000 megalitres of water this year, and a dam would have been inevitable.
