Reported at www.abc.net.au: GFG Alliance, the owner of the Whyalla steelworks, owes approximately $15 million in unpaid water bills to SA Water, with concerns raised about the company’s solvency following multiple production shutdowns in 2024.

South Australian Treasury Department chief executive Tammie Pribanic stated that GFG has also not made any royalty payments this financial year.

The government is preparing contingency plans in response to the situation.
