The BWSA Inspectors expressed concern about the management of drinking water quality within the water supply systems of Thaba Chweu Local Municipality. There is a significant decline in all key areas of the blue drop requirements more especially on the DWQ compliance. This decline could be accounted to the status of the water safety planning that remained unchanged since this previous assessment in 2011, deterioration of DWQ compliance and, in spite of high commitment levels portrayed by officials, it is with regret that the Department notes that recommendations made during the late 2010 assessment with regards to the Water Safety Plan process was not acted upon and lack of information on the management, accountability, & local regulation area. This detrimentally affected the scores that could have been even more impressive than what it currently is. The municipality should note that it is in the best interest of public health that serious attention is given to drinking water quality management. It is hereby repeated that the water safety planning process is to inform the monitoring programme to include the risk assessment findings. An overall improvement is required. There is no submission of data to the Department even legally required to do so and this compromised the actual performance of systems. The WSA is encouraged to ensure submission of analyses on a monthly basis to the Department (on the BDS).
