Anyone who owns or operates a water supply system which provides water for domestic purposes requires a valid water supply operating permit.
Domestic purposes means that the water is used for human consumption, food preparation, sanitation or other household purposes. If more than one single family residence is connected to a water supply system an operating permit is required.
Requirements
A completed application form for both chemical, physical and bacteriological parameters.
A completed Water Quality Analysis Report from an approved laboratory. For the bacteriological parameter, please collect 3 water samples taken a minimum of 24 hours apart for bacteriological analysis (total confirm and escherichia coli).
Approval from the Public Health Engineer in the form of a Construction Permit for all proposed or recently constructed waterworks. Note: existing waterworks will be reviewed under a separate process. Contact the Environmental Health Officer (EHO) for further information.
A completed Emergency Response & Contingency Plan; Water Quality Monitoring Sampling Plan; and Operation & Maintenance Plan. Once a completed application form has been received the EHO will assist the water supplier in the development of the above noted plans.
