AS Spring and Bore Annual Pre-treatment Monitoring

For drinking water supplies following the Acceptable Solution for Spring and Bore Drinking Water Supplies (AS-SB) to ensure annual monitoring of key chemical parameters that affect water quality and treatment efficiency.

Why This Suite Is Important

Monitoring chemical determinands annually ensures that the source water remains suitable for treatment and that no long-term changes compromise safety.

  • Heavy metals like arsenic, iron, and manganese can accumulate in groundwater and require monitoring.
  • Silica and hardness impact water treatment efficiency and infrastructure longevity.

 

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

Chemical & Physical Contaminants:

  • Arsenic: 0.01 mg/L
  • Boron: 1.4 mg/L
  • Silica: Must meet cartridge filtration manufacturer specifications
  • Hardness: Must meet UV manufacturer specifications
  • Iron: 0.2 mg/L (Aesthetic guideline, staining at high levels)
  • Manganese: 0.04 mg/L (Aesthetic), 0.4 mg/L (Health-based limit)

 

  • 📌 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.
