Drinking water system operators are responsible for ensuring that drinking water remains safe and of high quality. This requires not only knowledge of laws and regulations, but also access to the right tools and instruments. What tools can operators use to perform their duties effectively?
One of the most important tasks is implementing an effective flushing policy. This helps with refreshing drinking water and preventing Legionella. Managers can download various flushing instructions, including weekly flushing management, flushing instructions for exceeding standards, and thermal disinfection instructions.
If contamination exceeds 1.000 CFU, it must be reported to the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate. The online reporting form facilitates quick and accurate reporting.
The Water Worksheets provide further details on NEN 1006 and are essential for periodic management. Online versions of the Water Worksheets are available for managers.
A current BRL 6010 certificate is required for various services. The validity of such a certificate can be checked via the Kiwa Netherlands database.
