The 2012 Blue Drop scores for Vhembe District Municipality indicates the significant achievement of improvement in performance for every water supply system within the water services authority’s area of jurisdiction. This momentous accomplishment warrants celebration of the dedication of those responsible for drinking water quality operations and management within this municipality. There remain shortcomings that require attention over next assessment cycle to ensure the tap water quality management in this most northern municipality continues on the track of improvement. The Incident Management Protocol must be amended to include subject matter more relevant to drinking water quality and not only emergencies in general. To date the protocol is forming a solid basis for incident management since it indicates alert levels, response time, roles and responsibilities. The number of data sets (water quality results) per supply system, and detail of the water safety plans, does not allow for an easy determination of what influenced the number of samples per water supply systems. The municipality is encouraged to develop and implement risk based monitoring programmes according to SANS 241 requirements. The Department could not allocate full scores under the drinking water quality compliance criteria since the municipality could not present evidence of a full SANS 241 analyses that would indicate key risk determinands. The Chemical monitoring programmes mostly catered for Fluoride, Iron and Manganese; this would be regarded as inadequate in areas where mining activity is prevalent. The initiation of water safety planning processes in all water supply systems is highly commendable and it is trusted that the management of drinking water quality will continue along the principles of water safety planning. It is to be ensured that all staff responsible for the tasks of drinking water quality management comprehends water safety planning and buy into this process as part of their daily duties. On a positive note, the Lead Inspector noted: “The tone of the confirmation session was very positive, with the Vhembe team demonstrating willingness to participate and share relevant information. The presence of one of the senior managers: Mr. Manaka is proof of commitment; also it was shared that there`s monthly DWQ & services update sessions with the Municipal Manager and Senior Managers. BDS and has kept the Lead Inspector informed of their activities, seeking advice along the way. The VDM has gone an extra mile in populating the BDS, a good base for future audits & reviews of the supply systems.”
