ESCOSA chief executive officer Adam Wilson recently signed a Statement of Intent with EPA chief executive Tony Circelli that recognises the strategic linkages between the two regulators.
Mr Circelli said that it also demonstrates a shared desire to work together to assist the performance of both parties' respective roles in the South Australian water and sewerage industries.
“The purpose of this statement is to set out the general principles of how ESCOSA and the EPA will consult and communicate with each other on matters of regulatory overlap or mutual interest,” Mr Circelli said.
“ESCOSA and the EPA have complementary functions in the South Australian water and sewerage industries,” he said.
“Whilst not legally binding, the document sets out clearly that ESCOSA and EPA representatives will strive to work together effectively on co-regulatory matters.”
