AS Spring and Bore 3-Monthly Pre-Treatment Monitoring

For drinking water supplies using the Acceptable Solution for Spring and Bore Drinking Water Supplies (AS-SB), this suite provides 3-monthly monitoring of raw water quality before treatment, ensuring compliance with safety standards.

Why This Suite Is Important

Regular monitoring of nitrate, pH, turbidity, and microbiological contaminants helps ensure that the source water remains safe and suitable for treatment under the AS-SB framework.

  • Nitrate monitoring is essential for preventing health risks.
  • pH balance and turbidity testing ensure effective filtration and UV disinfection.
  • E. coli and total coliforms indicate microbial contamination risks.

 

This suite ensures that source water remains stable and safe for ongoing treatment and consumption.

The Maximum Acceptable Values (MAVs) and treatment limits for these determinands are:

  • Microbiological Contaminants:

    • E. coli: Must not be detected in 100 mL samples
    • Total Coliforms: Presence indicates potential contamination

 

  • Chemical & Physical Contaminants:

    • Nitrate: 50 mg/L as NO₃
    • pH: 7.0 – 8.5 (Recommended for drinking water)
    • UV Transmittance: Must meet UV manufacturer specifications
    • Turbidity: Must be at a level suitable for cartridge filtration and UV disinfection
  • 📌 If you have a Safe Supply Online Drinking Water Safety Plan, your test results can be automatically shared with the online tool, made available to members of your water supply, and scheduled for submission to the regulator as required.
  • 📌 Results must be retained for at least 5 years and made available to all members of the water supply.
  • 💬 Need Help?
  • Once you receive your results, we can introduce you to a water quality expert with knowledge of drinking water and treatment options to assist in understanding the results and developing a drinking water supply strategy.

Is the water sample for a domestic dwelling that has it's own water supply?
