The Safe Drinking Water Act requires G-MW, as a water storage manager, to prepare, implement, review and revise risk management plans (RMPs) in relation to its supply of water to any water supplier (Regional Urban Water Authorities). RMPs were put in place on 1 July 2005 and implementation occurred from that date.
A series of Plans have been prepared for G-MW to meet the requirements of the Act. Four Plans have been produced:
- A High Level Plan covering generic issues
- Three System Specific Plans covering the Murray, Goulburn and Loddon Systems.
Development of the Plans has involved a wide range of relevant stakeholders including Urban water Authorities, CMAs, EPA, municipalities and G-MW staff. The Plans will be subject of a regular review and update process and the Act requires audit of the Plans and their implementation. Copies of the Plans are available to download below.
