There was a significant improvement in drinking water quality management in the Kgetleng River Local Municipality. The Inspectors were impressed by the preparedness and commitment of the Kgetleng LM during the initial and confirmation assessments “Well-prepared and knowledgeable presentation by Technical Manager!”. The Department wishes to congratulate the LM on the development of their Water Safety Planning to ensure continuous and sustainable improvement in drinking water quality management. However, there is a need to review and implement the current Water Safety Planning, with the review a risk-based monitoring programme based on a full SANS 241 analysis should be inclueded. A full SANS 241 analysis has still not been conducted. The non-monitoring of chemical determinands is another risk that needs to be addressed as part of the water safety planning process. The review process will greatly improve the drinking water quality management in all the systems. The Municipality is urged to report the drinking water quality results regularly to the Department of Water Affairs on the Blue Drop System (BDS) to ensure continuous management of information. The LM is encouraged to maintain the momentum which the Inspector panel reported, and ensure greater commitment and support from the Management. The key performance indicators under “Management Commitment” did not score highly due to the lack of information addressing effective drinking water quality operations and management responsibilities such as an approved Water Safety Plan, DWQ monitoring programmes, water treatment plant logbooks, a Water Services Development Plan, publication requirements etc. However, based on the report from the Inspectors, improvement in this regard is anticipated.
