Greens Health spokesperson and Member for Braddon Paul O’Halloran MP said the Greens would seek further answers this week on the presence of elevated lead levels in the water supply at Rosebery.
“The discovery of elevated levels of lead in Rosebery’s residential water supply is a matter of serious concern for residents, and must be addressed as quickly as possible,” Mr O’Halloran said.
“We will be doing everything in our power to make sure that the source of this pollutant is identified and addressed, and support is offered to those affected.”
“It appears too early to say whether it is related to previous concerns over environmental lead levels at Rosebery, but the concerns of residents at this point are entirely understandable.”
“The Greens will be closely monitoring the response to this contamination, because we believe residents and families at Rosebery are entitled to expect a safe and reliable water supply.”
