Reporting requirements
All recycled water providers have an obligation to submit reports to the regulator. A granted exemption does not remove this obligation.
Minimum reporting requirements vary depending on the type of scheme:
- all schemes, including those that are exempt from having an approved recycled water management plan (RWMP), must:
- submit annual reports
- report on noncompliance with water quality criteria
- schemes with an approved RWMP must also submit internal and regular audit reports.
Annual reports do not need to be prepared by recycled water providers operating under transitional arrangements.
Annual reports and regular audit reports must be made available to the public for inspection during business hours.
Certain recycled water providers are also required to prepare public reports. These reports must be prepared by recycled water schemes that supply:
- coal seam gas recycled water
- other recycled water to augment a supply of drinking water
- recycled water under a dual reticulation scheme.
Guidelines outlining the reporting requirements for recycled water providers are available.
Reporting noncompliance with water quality criteria
Once an RWMP has been approved or an exemption granted, a recycled water provider, scheme manager or declared entity must immediately inform the regulator of any noncompliance with the scheme’s water quality criteria.
After the initial notification, the entity responsible for taking any corrective action must submit the details of the noncompliance to the regulator in the approved form (PDF, 101K)*.
