Added:[Am. 141]

Added:ANNEX II

Added:MONITORING

Added:PART A

Added:General objectives and monitoring programmes for water intended for human consumption

Added:1. Monitoring programmes established pursuant to Article 11(2) for water intended for human consumption shall:

Added:(a) verify that the measures in place to control risks to human health throughout the water supply chain from the abstraction area through treatment and storage to distribution are working effectively and that water at the point of compliance is wholesome and clean;

Added:(b) provide information on the quality of the water supplied for human consumption to demonstrate that the obligations set out in Article 4 and the parametric values set in accordance with Article 5 are being met;

Added:(c) identify the most appropriate means of mitigating the risk to human health.

Added:2. Monitoring programmes established pursuant to Article 11(2) shall include one of the following:

Added:(a) collection and analysis of discrete water samples;

Added:(b) measurements recorded by a continuous monitoring process.

Added:Monitoring programmes shall also include an operational monitoring programme complementary to verification monitoring, providing rapid insight in operational performance and water quality problems, and allowing rapid pre-planned remedial action. Such operational monitoring programmes shall be supply-specific, taking into account the outcomes of the hazard and supply risk assessments, and intended to confirm the effectiveness of all control measures in abstraction, treatment, distribution and storage. The operational monitoring programme shall include the monitoring of the parameter turbidity to regularly control the efficacy of physical removal by filtration processes, in accordance with the parametric values and frequencies indicated in the following table:

Added:In addition, monitoring programmes may consist of:

Added:(a) inspections of records of the functionality and maintenance status of equipment;

Added:(b) inspections of the abstraction area, and of the treatment, storage and distribution infrastructure without prejudice to monitoring requirements provided under Article 8(1)(c) and Article 10(1)(b).

Added:3. Member States shall ensure that monitoring programmes are reviewed on a continuous basis and updated or reconfirmed at least every 6 years.

Added:PART B

Added:Core parameters and sampling frequencies

Added:1. Core parameters

Added:Escherichia coli (E. coli), Clostridium perfringens spores, and somatic coliphages enterococci are considered 'core parameters' and may not be subject to a supply risk assessment in accordance with part C of this Annex. They shall always be monitored at the frequencies set out in Table 1 of point 2. [Am. 142]

2. Sampling frequencies

All parameters set in accordance with Article 5 shall be monitored at least at the frequencies set out in the following Table, unless a different sampling frequency is determined on the basis of a supply risk assessment carried out in accordance with Article 9 and part C of this Annex:

Change 4

Removed:4

Added:> 100 000

Removed:1

Added:12

Removed:4

Added:+ 1

Removed:+3

Added:for each 25 000 m3/day and part thereof of the total volume

Removed:For each 1000m3/d and part thereof of the total volume

Added:a: all samples are to be taken during times when the risk of treatment breakthrough of enteric pathogens is high.

Removed:1

Added:b: at least 10 samples are to be taken during times when the risk of treatment breakthrough of enteric pathogens is high.

Removed:+1

Removed:For each 1000m3/d and part thereof of the total volume

Removed:≤ 100000

Note 1: A supply zone is a geographically defined area within which water intended for human consumption comes from one or more sources and water quality may be considered as being approximately uniform.

Note 2: The volumes are calculated as averages taken over a calendar year. The number of inhabitants in a supply zone may be used instead of the volume of water to determine the minimum frequency, assuming water consumption of 200 l/(day*capita).

Change 5

Changed:Note 3: The frequency indicated is calculated as follows: e.g. 4 300 m 3 /daym3/day = 16 samples (four for the first 1 000 m 3 /daym3/day + 12 for additional 3 300 m 3 /day).m3/day).

Change 6

Changed:Note 4: Member States that have decided to exempt individual supplies under Article 3(2)(b) of this Directive shall apply these frequencies only for supply zones that distribute between 10 and 100 m 3m3 per day. [Am. 186]

Change 7

Removed:Annex II – part D – point 2 a (new): 2a. samples for Legionella in domestic distribution systems shall be taken at risk points for proliferation of and/or exposure to Legionella pneumophila. Member States shall establish guidelines for sampling methods for Legionella;

Added:PART C

Removed:Annex II a (new): Minimum hygiene requirements for substances and materials for the manufacture of new products coming into contact with water intended for human consumption: / (a) a list of substances approved for use in the manufacture of materials, including, but not limited to, organic materials, elastomers, silicones, metals, cement, ion exchange resins and composite materials, and products made therefrom. / (b) specific requirements for the use of substances in materials and products made therefrom. / (c) specific restrictions on the migration of certain substances into water intended for human consumption. / (d) hygiene rules regarding other properties required for compliance. / (e) basic rules to verify compliance with points (a) to (d). / (f) rules concerning sampling and analysis methods to verify compliance with points (a) to (d).

Added:Supply risk assessment

Removed:Amendments 177 and 224

Added:1. The supply risk assessment referred to in Article 9 shall be based on the general principles of risk assessment set out in international standards such as standard EN 15975-2 concerning ‘security of drinking water supply, guidelines for risk and crisis management’.

Removed:Annex III – part B – point 1 – table 1 – row 28

Added:2. Following a supply risk assessment, the list of parameters considered in the monitoring shall be extended and the sampling frequencies set out in Part B increased, where any of the following conditions is fulfilled:

Removed:Annex IV – title: INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC
