Regulatory Comments 2011 :
The inspectors indicated: “[We] observed excellent leadership by Mr Jansen, good team dynamics as demonstrated by enthusiastic participation and commitment towards continuous improvement by management. Continuing education for process controllers is critical to maintain good performance, in particular for systems recently transferred from Eden DM.” Once again a sound performance, in particular at the George water supply system, is noted. Unfortunately the decline at Wilderness taints the overall performance to a certain degree. Winter floods were presented as the reason for major disruptions in this town causing stagnant water to be sampled and thus sketching a skew picture of the water quality trend. However the Department also notes failures recorded in the earlier part of the year (2011) and will monitor developments in this regard. The municipality is required to improve the situation and communicate the interventions that result into good drinking water quality trends to the residents. The systems of Haarlem and Uniondale were not assessed since it was agreed that they were transferred from Eden District Municipality during the latter part of the assessment cycle. The municipality is encouraged to implement thorough risk management processes (similar to those employed in George) as soon as possible to ensure that public health is safe-guarded. Overall municipal performance determination will include the compliance levels of these two systems during the next audit cycle.
