1 INTRODUCTION The Mackay Regional Council (MRC) Drinking Water Quality Management Plan (DWQMP) was initially approved by the Office of the Water Supply Regulator (the Regulator) on 6 July 2012. An amendment to the DWQMP was approved on 8 December 2014. The following annual report has been developed to meet the statutory requirements associated with an approved DWQMP under the Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008 (the Act).
1.1 Registered Service Details Service Provider Identification Number (SPID) 489 Service Provider Name Mackay Regional Council
2 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DWQMP
2.1 Risk Management Improvement Program The MRC DWQMP Risk Management Improvement Program (RMIP) was reviewed and updated as part of the DWQMP internal review and amendment completed in September 2014. The progress of the implementation of each action was reviewed and updated as part of the amendment. The Rural Water Supply Upgrade project recorded as ‘In Progress’ in the RMIP and due for completion in September 2014 was completed and the water supply schemes encompassed by the project are online and operating with the upgrades in place. The other actions detailed and recorded as ‘In Progress’ in the RMIP with completion dates of the current financial year i.e. 2014/15; are projects which have gone out to tender or will be gong tout to tender before the end of December 2014 with the works to be completed before 1 July 2015.
2.2 Verification Monitoring The verification monitoring program was reviewed and updated as part of the DWQMP internal review and amendment completed in September 2014. The verification monitoring program has assisted MRC in maintaining water quality through identifying potential problem areas in the reticulation systems. The main water quality issue experienced in the drinking water schemes operated and managed by MRC is low chlorine residual in the reticulation which increases the risk to public health as it is indicative of possible ineffective disinfection. The leading causes for this issue are the climatic conditions of high temperatures; the large variation in demand between the dry season and wet season and in a few applicable schemes, the length and complexity of the reticulation network also plays a part. Verification monitoring has assisted operations in ensuring chlorine residual is maintained in the extremities of the reticulation network through identifying when the chlorine residual begins to decline in the reticulation network. This has enabled the chlorine dosage at appropriate disinfection facilities to be increased and manual chlorine tablet dosing at appropriate reservoirs to be implemented to ensure the chlorine residual is maintained.

2.3 Operational Monitoring The operational monitoring program was reviewed and updated as part of the DWQMP internal review and amendment completed in September 2014. The operational monitoring program has assisted in enhancing the efficiency of the treatment facilities. MRC are trialling two instruments, Liquid ID and Com::pass, at the Nebo Rd WTP to investigate whether these online monitoring devices will add to the operational monitoring capabilities and improve the treatment effectiveness and efficiency at the WTP. The instruments have been installed on the raw water line coming into the WTP and measure a wide range of parameters. It is hoped that these instruments will enable the WTP operators to understand the raw water quality entering the WTP in real time and allow the operators the time to adjust chemical dosages to enable effective treatment of the water. The Com::pass device also has the inbuilt capability of assessing the raw water quality and providing a guiding coagulant dose to use. This capability has the potential to greatly assist the WTP operator in optimising the chemical dosage in a short time as the raw water quality is known to change rapidly with rain events. It is also expected that if the trials are successful and the instruments are incorporated into the operational monitoring program; they will be integrated into the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system and in the case of the Com::pass instrument it could be utilised to adjust the coagulant dose when the WTP is unmanned. When the trial at Nebo Rd WTP is complete MRC are looking to potentially trial the instruments at the new Marian WTP as it is expected that the raw water quality for this WTP would experience similar trends as Nebo Rd WTP due to the raw water source being the same, the Pioneer River, though the draw off points are not the same location on the river. MRC are working towards establishing control limits (as per ADWG 2011 Information Sheet 3.4) for key water quality criteria to enhance the operational monitoring currently being undertaken. Implementation of the data management system MonitorPro has enabled the development of control limits and monitoring of the trend of water quality and the performance of the treatment facilities against the control limits.
2.4 Amendments to the DWQMP The DWQMP underwent an internal review in the 2013/14 financial year and an amended DWQMP was submitted for approval in September 2014. The amended DWQMP was approved on 8 December 2014. With the new Marian Water Treatment Plant (WTP) coming online in early 2015; MRC acknowledge that the DWQMP will require a review and amendment after the new WTP has completed commissioning and is fully online. The amendment will include, but not be limited to, the new operational protocols for the Marian and Mirani schemes as the new WTP will supply both schemes while the current bore supplies for each scheme will be maintained as emergency or event supplies and a risk assessment will be also be completed.
3 WATER QUALITY CRITERIA
3.1 Drinking Water Quality Criteria The drinking water quality criteria used to assess compliance were sourced from the ADWG 2011 Health guideline values and the Queensland Public Health Regulation 2005. No water quality non-compliances were recorded for samples collected in the 2013/14 financial year. A tabulated summary of the water quality data analysis for water quality data collected in the 2013/14 financial year has been provided in Sections 3.2 to 3.12.

3.1.1 Rolling 12 Month Annual Value
The rolling 12 month annual value calculated in accordance with the Public Health Regulation 2005 was also applied to assess drinking water compliance. All drinking water schemes in the 2013/14 financial year met the requirement of 98% of samples taken in a 12 month period should contain no E. coli as shown in Table 3-1.

4 NON-COMPLIANCES Details of the non-compliances reported to the regulator in the 2013/14 financial year have been tabulated in Table 4-1. Table 4-1 Drinking Water Non-compliances for the 2013/14 Financial Year

Mackay Nebo Rd WTP – Treated Water
Diuron & Atrazine (Pesticides)
390 µg/L & 350 µg/L
Routine monitoring of drinking water detected Diuron and Atrazine in the treated water at Nebo Rd WTP at elevated levels which exceed the ADWG 2011 Health guideline value of 20 µg/L and 20 µg/L respectively. High levels of chemicals were also detected in the sample of the incoming raw water to the WTP collected on the same day as the treated water. Analysis of rainfall data for Mackay indicates that prior to the detections a significant rainfall event occurred which is likely to have washed sediments and chemicals into the Pioneer River which is the raw water source for Nebo Rd WTP. A failure of the mass spectrometer at the Mackay Water and Waste Services Scientific and Analytical Services Laboratory (SAS) resulted in samples collected from August 2012 to April 2013 to not be analysed by SAS and instead sent to QLD Health laboratory for analysis. This resulted in a delay in obtaining results and analysing the results to identify non-compliances.
5 PRESCRIBED INCIDENTS MRC did not experience any prescribed incidents in the 2013/14 financial year.
6 CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS A tabulated summary of the customer complaints received in the 2013/14 financial year has been provided in Table 6-1.

7 REVIEWS The DWQMP underwent an internal review in the 2013/14 financial year and an amended DWQMP was submitted for approval in September 2014. The amended DWQMP was approved on 8 December 2014.
8 AUDITS The DWQMP was initially approved on 6 July 2012 and an amendment approved on 8 December 2014. An external audit of the DWQMP has therefore not yet been undertaken; however it has been scheduled to be completed in the 2015/16 financial year.
