Council ensures drinking water is safe to drink through regular monitoring and testing. Water samples are collected every week from set locations at the treatment plant, reservoirs and town drinking water taps. These are tested by Council operators and independently by a National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) accredited lab to ensure they comply with The Australian Drinking Water Guidelines 2011 (ADWG).
