Comparative year
This line item corresponds to iine item 5.3 Recycled water supply system, reported in the 2010 Account. The following table presents substantive changes to the 2009–10 volume reported in the 2011 Account with the corresponding line item in the 2010 Account. The reasons for the changes, with their respective values, are detailed in the table and summarised hereafter: data are now available to estimate this volume. Given the minor change in volume that occurs from year to year within potable pipe networks, the 2010 Account closing balance volumes were amended with these new data. These changes are summarised in the table below.
