Annual reporting for drinking water providers
Drinking water service providers must prepare a drinking water quality management plan (DWQMP) report, under the requirements of the Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008.
Purpose of the report
The purpose of the report is to demonstrate to your customers, stakeholders and the water supply regulator (i.e. the Director-General of the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy (DNRME)) that you have satisfactorily implemented the approved DWQMP each financial year.
You must make the report publicly available and publish it on your website.
DWQMP reports must be submitted to DNRME in December each year. Specific dates for each service provider can be found in the notice approving the DWQMP.
Report contents
Under the Act, the report must include the following information:
- actions the service provider took to implement the DWQMP
- details of compliance with water quality criteria for drinking water
- incidents reported to the regulator

- DWQMP review outcomes
