| Regulatory Comments 2011 : |
Drinking Water Quality Management in Naledi Local Municipality remained constant with a disappointing minor performance improvement recorded in each of the three supply systems. The municipality was not well prepared for the assessment and also appeared to disregard the requirements of the Regulator and legislation since very little information was provided to the Department on the Blue Drop System. Technical competence and management commitment appears to be a challenge within the Naledi Local Municipality. Instructions issued by the Department in the previous Blue Drop Report are still to be addressed and disinfection at the Vanstadensrus borehole system remains inadequate to eliminate the risk that consumers might contract a water-related disease following the consumption of the borehole water.
The WSA is still to adopt a comprehensive risk assessment and water safety planning process. A full set of SANS 241 analyses must be done in each of the supply systems to determine the risks associated with chemical determinands. The findings from this risk assessment and water safety planning process must be used to inform and implement more comprehensive drinking water quality monitoring programmes.
Similar to the 2011 Blue Drop Assessment, information provided by Bloem Water on the quality of drinking water in the Dewetsdorp and Wepener systems, along with other required information on process control, asset management and other criteria, contributed the majority of the score awarded to the Dewetsdorp and Wepener systems.
