4 1. Introduction The Department of Energy and Water Supply (DEWS or the department) administers the drinking water provisions of Queensland s Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008 (the Act), which commenced on 1 July The chief executive of the department is the regulator under the Act. The primary aim of the drinking water provisions is to protect public health. Drinking water service providers (providers) must have an approved drinking water quality management plan (DWQMP or plan) that demonstrates how they manage their drinking water to protect public health. The Queensland Water Supply Regulator (the regulator) is responsible for assessing each plan. Following the assessment, if the regulator approves the plan or approves the plan with conditions, the provider is notified via a notice of the decision or an information notice for the decision respectively. These two notices are referred to as the approval notice in this guideline. The regulator also has the power to not approve the plan. Providers must comply with their approved plans and any conditions the regulator places on the approval of the plan. Providers must carry out regular reviews of their plan at the periods stated in the approval notice. The regulator may also require that the provider arranges for regular audits and the submission of regular audit reports to the regulator. The requirement for, and the timing of reviews and audits, is stated in the approval notice. 2. Purpose of this guideline The purpose of this guideline is to inform providers and auditors about the department requirements for regular reviews and audits of DWQMPs. This guideline is prepared in accordance with section 571 of the Act, which states that the regulator may make guidelines to provide guidance to persons about preparing audit reports and conducting a review of a DWQMP. In addition, section 108 of the Act states that the regular audit report for a plan must be prepared in accordance with any guidelines made by the regulator about preparing regular audit reports. This guideline contains: a process that providers can use to comply with the requirement to review their plans information to assist providers to understand and prepare for the audit process information for auditors about the audit and developing the audit report supporting information, including: o Appendix A summary of the relevant legislative requirements o Appendix B suggested prompts for DWQMP reviews o Appendix C sample statutory declaration templates. Note that the terms plan and DWQMP in this guideline refer to an approved drinking water quality management plan for the provider, unless stated otherwise. 3. DWQMP review process This section supplies information to assist providers to comply with the regulatory requirements for regular reviews and subsequent amendment of their plan, if required
5 3.1 Review purpose The purpose of the review is to ensure the plan remains relevant, having regard to the current circumstances and operation of the water service. The review process should assess the implementation of the plan, and the accuracy and currency of the plan. This process should identify any improvements or changes to the drinking water service. Some aspects to consider in the review include: stakeholder engagement or involvement management and operation of the drinking water service procedures and processes identified hazards and hazardous events risk assessment for the identified hazards and hazardous events effectiveness of risk management processes including preventive measures and any changes implemented through the improvement program collating and analysing water quality data to evaluate the appropriateness of the treatment process, accuracy of reporting, and risk assessment ensuring the incident and emergency response plan is current. The review should determine if the plan is resulting in appropriate outcomes, and identify any improvements required to ensure the drinking water remains protective of public health and meets the water quality criteria. Where an audit has been conducted prior to the review, any audit recommendation related the relevance of the plan should be taken into account in the review. 3.2 Undertaking the review The review is intended to be conducted internally by the provider, with management and operational staff involved in the process. Providers may engage external experts to assist them with the review process if necessary. Providers should develop their own process for undertaking a review of their plan. Appendix B Suggested prompts for DWQMP reviews, provides a list of questions to assist with the review. The questions align with the sections of the DWQMP Guideline. This list is not exhaustive, and is not intended to be a review structure that is appropriate to all providers. 3.3 Amending the plan as a result of a review Providers must amend their plan if a review indicates the plan requires amendments to improve and/or reflect changes to the management of their drinking water service. The amendments made to the plan must be submitted to the regulator for approval. The process for preparing and submitting an amendment is to: read the explanatory notes and instructions (Drinking Water Quality Management Plan Amendment Application Explanatory notes and instructions) located on the department s website at add and highlight all proposed amendments and deletions to the existing plan complete the application form (WSR506 Drinking Water Quality Management Plan Amendment Application form) send the complete amended plan to the regulator as per the instructions on the application form
6 The regulator will assess the amendments and, once approved, the amended plan becomes the approved plan. The regulator will notify the provider via an approval notice. 3.4 Records of reviews Providers should retain records of plan reviews. These records may be used by auditors or the regulator to verify that reviews were undertaken at the intervals specified in the approval notice. 3.5 Annual reports and reviews Providers must include the outcomes of their DWQMP review, and how they addressed any matters raised in the review, in their annual report for the financial year of the review. The Guidelines for Service Provider Annual Reports July 2010 outlines the requirements for annual reports under the Act. This guideline can be found on the department s website at < 4. DWQMP audit 4.1 Audit purpose The purpose of the regular DWQMP report audit is to: (a) (b) (c) verify the accuracy of the monitoring and performance data provided to the regulator under the plan assess the service provider s compliance with the plan assess the relevance of the plan in relation to the provider s drinking water service. Further explanation about these three statements of purpose is provided in sections 4.3 to 4.5 below. 4.2 Audit scope The audit focuses on verifying the accuracy of reported data, implementation of the plan, and the relevance of the plan. It is not a requirement of the audit for the auditor to assess the compliance of the plan itself with the Act or the DWQMP guideline, as this is assessed by the regulator prior to the DWQMP being approved. The auditor should record the evidence relied upon in their determinations, such as details of the records viewed, who was spoken to and infrastructure/scheme components sighted. The auditor should use a mix of evidence that is appropriate to the provider, the aspect of the plan being audited, and the scheme circumstances. In most cases it will not be practical for the auditor to, for example, sight all records or visit all infrastructure. Audit findings will be based on a sample of available information. The period or timeframe to be audited is from the date the plan was approved, as per the approval notice, or from the last regulated audit
7 The DWQMP guideline and sections 4.3 to 4.5 below should assist the auditor to understand the scope of the regulated audit requirements. The auditor may comment on the effectiveness or the appropriateness of elements of the plan and drinking water service. However, this is not a regulatory requirement for the audit. These elements could include the effectiveness of operation and maintenance plans or programs, set operational targets or limits, procedures for managing drinking water incidents and emergencies or the adequacy of service wide record keeping systems. Under the Act, providers must give the auditor and any person employed or authorised by the auditor free and uninterrupted access to the provider s infrastructure and any records relating to the infrastructure. The auditor should give the provider adequate notification of when such access is required. The auditor and any person employed or authorised by the auditor must not enter the premises of a customer of the provider unless the customer agrees. 4.3 Verify accuracy of monitoring and performance data The audit must verify the accuracy of monitoring and performance data supplied to the regulator by the provider under the plan. This includes data required under any provisions or conditions outlined in the approval notice, for example, data required under an additional reporting condition or a periodic reporting condition. The requirements for and content of, monitoring and performance data provided to the regulator will vary for each provider. Note: this requirement does not include any monitoring or performance data supplied to the regulator by the provider under the Act, such as non-compliance with water quality criteria data. The auditor should consider a sample of the data supplied to the regulator since the plan approval or any previous audit. 4.4 Compliance with the plan The audit must assess the provider s compliance with their plan. This should include, but is not limited to, assessing compliance with: the provisions and conditions in the approval notice implementation of all preventive measures for managing hazards and hazardous events as described in the plan implementation of operational and maintenance procedures implementation of the process for managing incidents and emergencies as described in the plan implementation of the operational and verification monitoring programs as described in the plan implementation of the risk management improvement program as described in the plan maintaining records using the information management systems as described in the plan undertaking regular reviews at the frequency specified in the approval notice. The auditor should assess enough of the plan and its implementation to reach a properly informed opinion about whether or not the provider is compliant with their plan
8 4.5 Relevance of the plan Determining the relevance of the plan involves assessing whether and to what extent the plan represents the current operations of the drinking water service. This should include: assessing whether the service description and details of infrastructure in the plan reflect the current circumstances for each scheme confirming the information in the plan used to identify hazards and hazardous events reflects the current circumstances for each scheme (including catchment characteristics, water quality information and infrastructure). 5. Selecting the auditor The provider is responsible for appointing the auditor. The auditor selected must have appropriate qualifications or experience for the system/s being audited. The auditor should be independent of the activity being audited, free from bias and conflicts of interest, and able to maintain an objective view to ensure the findings are based only on the audit evidence. The Act states that the audit report must not be prepared by: an employee of the service provider, or someone who is employed in operating the service provider s infrastructure. 5.1 Auditor qualifications In relation to the skill and experience of the auditor, the Act states the provider must ensure the auditor: 1. is certified under the Drinking Water-Quality Management System Auditor Certification Scheme to conduct an audit of the type to which the report relates, or 2. has a qualification the regulator is satisfied is at least equivalent to the qualification mentioned above. The Registrar Accreditation Board Quality Society of Australasia International (RABQSA) developed the Drinking Water-Quality Management System (DW QMS) Auditor Certification Scheme (scheme). This scheme provides international recognition for auditors who conduct audits to ensure that drinking water service providers can demonstrate they are managing risk in accordance with the risk management framework of the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines. The RABQSA website provides the names of qualified persons under this scheme as well as details of a Code of Conduct for certified auditors. Providers may arrange for auditors with either Lead DW QMS Auditor (Lead Auditor) or DW QMS Auditor (Auditor grade) certification to conduct their audits. If the proposed auditor does not hold certification through the DW QMS scheme, the provider must submit evidence to the regulator that demonstrates how the proposed auditor has a qualification that is at least equivalent to the DW QMS scheme requirements. Evidence should include: knowledge and competency of the proposed auditor in both the: o essential components and conduct of an audit o technologies and management systems used in the treatment of drinking water relevant educational qualifications such as a degree or diploma in the fields of engineering, science or medicine - 5 -
9 seven years of relevant full-time work experience that the proposed auditor is of good ethical standing and is able to conduct an audit within an established Code of Conduct including the way in which potential conflict of interest is to be addressed documented substantive experience in the conduct of audits demonstrated knowledge of the contents and application of the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines. Providers should allow sufficient time for the regulator to investigate and evaluate the evidence submitted before the auditor is appointed. 5.2 Auditor statutory declaration As part of the audit report process, the auditor must make a statutory declaration regarding his or her professional qualifications. This declaration must state the auditor s certification under the DW QMS or reference the advice received by the regulator about their suitability to conduct the audit. Before the audit is conducted, the provider must assure themselves that the auditor holds the required certification or has been endorsed by the regulator. See Section 6 for more information about the statutory declaration requirements. 6. Reporting audit findings This section outlines the minimum requirements of the audit report and submission details for the report. 6.1 The audit report The auditor must provide an audit report to the provider that clearly expresses the opinion of the auditor in respect of the findings of the audit. The audit report should include: name of the auditor, name of the provider and water service being audited, and the approval date of the plan being audited the methodology used to conduct the audit, for example key documents inspected, the audit team and information sources for each aspect of the audit the assessment of the verification of the monitoring and performance data required under the plan the assessment of relevance of the plan as it currently exists the assessment of compliance with the plan including the identification of any significant non-compliance recommendations for the provider. 6.2 Submitting the report Providers must ensure that the DWQMP audit report is submitted to the regulator within 30 business days of its completion. The audit must be undertaken and completed no later than the period stated in the approval notice
10 Providers should submit one hard copy of the audit report; an electronic copy on CD or other electronic device; and accompanied by two statutory declarations (as detailed below) to: Queensland Water Supply Regulator Department of Energy and Water Supply PO Box City East Qld Signed statutory declarations The audit report must be accompanied by two statutory declarations. These are: 1. a statutory declaration from the provider, which is signed by the provider s executive officer if the provider is a corporation, or signed by the provider if the provider is an individual and 2. a signed statutory declaration from the auditor. The provider s declaration must state that the provider: has not knowingly given any false or misleading information to the auditor has given all relevant information to the auditor. The auditor s declaration must: state the auditor s qualifications and experience relevant to the audit state that the auditor has not knowingly included any false, misleading or incomplete information in the report state that the auditor has not knowingly failed to reveal any relevant information or document to the regulator certify the report addresses the relevant matters for the evaluation and is factually correct certify the opinions expressed in it are honestly and reasonably held. Appendix C contains example templates of statutory declarations that can be used to meet these requirements. Online templates can be accessed from the Queensland Courts website < 6.4 Audit report availability The provider must keep a copy of the audit report available for inspection by the public during business hours at the office of the provider, and at other places the provider considers appropriate. The provider must also make a copy of the audit report available for purchase at a reasonable cost. 6.5 Annual report and audits Providers must include details of the findings and any recommendations stated in an audit report of their DWQMP in the annual report for the financial year of the audit. The Guidelines for Service Provider Annual Reports July 2010 outlines the requirements for annual reports under the Act. This guideline can be found on the department s website at <
11 Appendix A DWQMP review and audit regulatory requirements summary The statutory requirements for DWQMP regular reviews and regular audits are detailed in the Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008 Chapter 2, Part 4, Subdivision 2 Drinking water quality management plans. A summarised outline of the statutory requirements related to DWQMP reviews and audits is provided in this appendix. Providers should read the sections in the Act in full to ensure they are aware of their rights and obligations under the Act.
