Checklist 1: Water Quality Monitoring
☐ Sampling plan established
A structured sampling plan is defined, including frequency, parameters, and responsibilities for routine water quality monitoring across the system.
☐ Sampling points defined
All relevant sampling locations are clearly identified, including water sources, treatment facilities, reservoirs, distribution network points, and consumer taps.
☐ Laboratory available
A reliable laboratory setup (internal or external) is established to ensure timely and accurate analysis of collected water samples.
☐ Microbiological testing performed
Regular testing for microbiological indicators is carried out to ensure hygienic safety of the drinking water supply.
☐ Chemical testing performed
Key chemical parameters are monitored consistently to verify compliance with water quality requirements and detect potential contamination.
☐ Results documented
All monitoring results are systematically recorded and stored in an accessible format for operational use and traceability.
☐ Trends evaluated
Water quality data is regularly analyzed over time to identify patterns, seasonal variations, or emerging issues.
☐ Corrective actions defined
Clear procedures are in place to respond to deviations, including operational adjustments, maintenance actions, or further investigations.
