Mr Walsh said an audit of water savings the government claims have already been made revealed Labor’s so-called calculations were prone to inaccuracies, poor record-keeping and human error.
"The government’s method of calculating water savings is laughable," Mr Walsh said.
"The audit shows the Brumby Government has cobbled together its alleged water savings using dipsticks and inaccurate meters."
Mr Walsh said the audits, which were conducted in October and November 2009, were a major embarrassment to the Brumby Government.
"It’s clear from these audits the Brumby Government cannot be trusted to manage Victoria’s water supply," Mr Walsh said.
The auditors Cardno stated in their report:
‘In some instances the area supervisor/loss management officers may adjust figures where the original input is considered inaccurate. No record of these adjustments is recorded.’
"Labor’s guesswork on water savings is a very long way from the modern and accurate process it claims to have put in place," Mr Walsh said.
"Victorians cannot trust the Brumby Government to tell the truth about water savings when Labor’s claims are based on dipsticks, inaccurate figures and guesswork," Mr Walsh said.
