What we achieved:
- Part 4 of the DWSNZ (Treatment plant)
- Part 4 of the DWSNZ (Distribution zone)
- Part 7 of the DWSNZ (Cyanotoxin compliance)
- Part 8 of the DWSNZ (Chemical compliance)
|
What we didn't achieve:
- Part 5 of the DWSNZ (Protozoa compliance, process only)
|
Why we didn't achieve them:
- Missing some data from online instruments
- The UV strength being below the required level in some of the samples obtained
- The required amount of UV manual samples not obtained during some weeks
|
How we're addressing it:
- Upgrading our communication network between instruments at the treatment plant and our IT systems so that data cannot go missing
- District wide we have invested over $2 million to date, to upgrade treatment plant instruments and processes with more money to follow
- Improving internal processes to ensure the required number of UV manual samples are taken
