INTRODUCTION

Waterborne disease remains one of the major health concerns in the world. Diarrheal
diseases, which are largely derived from contaminated water and inadequate sanitation,
account for 2.4 million deaths each year and contribute over 73 million Disability
Adjusted Life Years (a measure of disease burden, WHO 1999). On a global scale, this
places diarrheal disease sixth in the list of causes of mortality and third in the list of
morbidity. This health burden is primarily borne by the populations in developing
countries and by children.
Based on present estimates, one-sixth of humanity lack access to any form of safe and
improved water supply within 1 kilometer of their home and one-fifth of humanity lack
access to any form of adequate and improved excreta disposal (WHO and UNICEF
2000). Endemic and epidemic disease derived from unsafe water supply affects all
nations. Outbreaks of waterborne disease continue to occur in both developed and
developing countries, leading to loss of life, disease and economic burden for
individuals and communities. Strategies to improve water quality, in conjunction with
improvements in excreta disposal and personal hygiene can be expected to deliver
substantial health gains in the population.
In addition to microbial risks to drinking-water, safety may also be compromised by
chemical and radiological constituents. The World Health Organization Guidelines for
Drinking-water Quality (GDWQ), for which this text is a supporting document, aim to
protect public health and a key way to ensure this is through the adoption of a water
safety plan.

Water Safety Plan develop in Sri Lanka

As a developing country Sri Lanka still need to produce many facilities to ensure
safeguard water to consumers. Therefore as a representative of Sri Lankan Government,

8
National Water Supply and drainage Board (NWSDB) has a great responsibility to
provide safe drinking water to its consumers. Accordingly NWSDB started learning and
applying water safety plan (WSP) to its systems, NWSDB organized a multi-disciplinary
WSP team coming from its various operating units to assess and develop a model WSP
for its entire system. This WSP covers the water sources, conveyance system, water
treatment, pumps and reservoir, and the distribution network up to its customers. The
task is tedious and complicated since NWSDB does not manage the watershed that acts
as the main source of its water supply but monitoring has been done by NWSDB.
Different governmental bodies have legal authority to control the actions going on the
catchment. Therefore they should contribute to successfully conduct WSP. Also, It is
important that risk management is inclusive and, therefore, needs to cover the whole
system from catchment to consumer as in following figure A.

Water Quality targets for raw water, treatment plant and consumer in
Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka Standards Institution published the tolerance limits for inland surface water
used as raw water for public water supply (SLS 722) to prevent and control pollution of
water sources in year 1985. They also published the specification for potable water
consisting of physical, chemical and microbiological requirements as SLS 614: Part 1
and 2 in year 1983. The specification for potable water is revised in year 2013.Sri Lanka
Standards for effluents published as SLS 652 in year 1984. The main WQ target is to
achieve treated water quality of all treatment plants (TP) (including partial treatment) to
Sri Lankan standards (SLS 614: 1983 Part 1 and 2).

EXECUTIVE SUMMERY

This report includes the water safety plan (WSP) for Panadura Zone 2 distribution
system located at Panadura in Western South region of Western province. Basically,
this report explains improvement of Panadura Zone 2 areas to escape contamination of
water in the distribution system. The Panadura Zone 2 WSP report consists of identified
risks of water contaminations at Panadura ground reservoir, Hirana water tower , about
60km length distribution system and consumers .

The system feed treated water from Kalu Ganga water treatment plant. The treated water
storages which are Hirana tower and Panadura reservoir have some possibility to
contaminate due to no proper preventive maintenance methods are used. There is a
possibility of contamination of piped water during leak repairs and within low pressure
zones. There is also a possibility to contaminate the distributed treated water at the
household storage tanks and during handling water at end user. This WSP incorporates a
multiple barrier system to eliminate risks of water contamination of distribution system
from the source to the end user

12
MODULE: 01- WATER SAFETY PLAN TEAM

The preparation stage involves determining the WSP team with multidisciplinary team
of experts with a thorough understanding of the selected drinking water supply system at
Panadura area. Also, external support from collaborative multi-stakeholders is required
as it will ensure that all the other agencies with responsibility for specific areas within
the water cycle for WQ management of Panadura WSS. The WSP team members are
involved in each stage of drinking water supply system and the assembled experts from
different categories are shown below.

 Engineering
 Water quality
 TP and distribution system operational staff
 Public health professionals
 Water resources management and protection professionals
 Customer services

MODULE 03
Hazard identification and risk assessment

For each step of the validated process flow diagram, the WSP Team identified what
could go wrong in the water supply system in terms of hazards and hazardous events.
The hazard and hazardous event identification was conducted through existing records,
historical events, local knowledge and onsite visits that can affect the safety of a water
supply and establish what requires controlling the hazards in order to provide safe
drinking-water. The WSP team considered all potential biological, micro biological,
physical and chemical hazards that could be associated with the water supply.

It is important to rank the hazards in order to establish priorities. The WSP team used a
semi-quantitative risk assessment, to calculate a priority score for each identified hazard.
The objective of the prioritization matrix is to rank hazardous events to provide a focus
on the most significant hazards. The likelihood and severity was derived from the team’s
technical knowledge and expertise, historical data and relevant guidelines. Below Tables
describes the semi quantitative risk matrix used to rate the likelihood or frequency and
severity or consequence of the hazards when it occurred for calculation of the risk score.
The WSP team determined a cutoff point, which is risk score of 5, above which all
hazards will be retained for further consideration. There is little value in expending a
great deal of effort considering very small risks.

1 Insignificant No detectable or insignificant health impact.
No disruption to normal operation.
Insignificant impact to normal operating costs.

2 Minor Short term or localized aesthetic non-compliance, not health


related (e.g. Fe, Mn, H2S, Zn, colour, odour, taste, turbidity).
Manageable operation disruption.
Minor impact to normal operating costs.

3 Moderate Widespread aesthetic issues or long term non-compliance, not


health related (e.g. Fe, Mn, H2S, Zn, colour, odour, taste,
turbidity).
Significant impact to normal operation but manageable.
Significant impact to normal operating costs.

4 Major Potential long term health effects or chronic toxicity (e.g.


chemical organic constituents, i.e. pesticide, THM, or inorganic
constituents, i.e. Hg, Cd, Pb).
System significantly compromised, high level of monitoring is
required.
Disruption to consumers in the supply.
5 Catastrophic Potential illness or acute toxicity (e.g. microbial, chemical
organic constituents, i.e. pesticide, or inorganic constituents, i.e.
CN).
Major impact for large population.
Complete system failure.

MODULE 04

Determine and validate control measures reassess and prioritize the risks

WSP team documented the existing and potential control measures for each of the
identified hazards from catchment to the point of use. The team validates each control to
determine its efficacy at its point in the water supply system through site inspection,
manufacturer’s specification and based on monitoring data. Reassessment of risk was
conducted taking into account the effectiveness of each of the controls. The reduction in
the risk rating achieved by each control is an indication of its effectiveness. The risks
were prioritized in terms of their likely impact to the capacity of the system to deliver
safe water. High priority risks (risk rating from medium to very high) may require
system modifications or upgrade while lower priority risks (risk rating of low) can often
be minimized as part of routine good practice activities

Improvement Plan

An improvement or upgrade plans were drawn up for each of the significant risks with
effective or no existing controls identified in the reassessment of risks recognizing that
other less significant risk can also be controlled by these improvement measures. Each
of the identified improvement/upgrade has an owner to take responsibility for its
implementation and target implementation due date were also identified. Improvement /
upgrade plans can include short, medium or long-term programs. These plans should be
monitored to confirm improvements have been made and are effective and that WSP has
been updated accordingly.

MODULE 06

Define Operational Monitoring & Corrective Actions for Control Measures

Operational monitoring includes defining and validating the monitoring of the control
measures and establishing procedures to demonstrate that the controls continue to work.
All control measures identified as “critical” were assigned as “critical control points”
and were monitored against “critical limits or operational limit” criteria. This critical/
operational limit is a criterion that will indicate whether the control measure is effective
and is functioning as it was designed to be.
Monitoring plan for the whole water supply system indicating an acceptable
critical/operational limit for each control, designated monitoring locations, and
established a schedule for frequency of monitoring and assigned responsible parties.
Corrective actions to be taken in the event that monitoring reveals a parameter to be
outside of the acceptable “limits” were also established.

MODULE 07

Verify the effectiveness of the WSP

Effectiveness of the implemented activities in module 06 should be monitored to verify


and safeguard the performance of the water supply process. Operational monitoring
should be done in daily/ in incident or special case or during some time intervals by the
responsible persons. Problems or deviations from critical limits identified during normal
operation should be corrected immediately as mentioned in the corrective actions.
According to the Water Safety Plan guideline, In addition to daily operation
effectiveness of the water supply process should be verified by the responsible officers
or persons. Problems identified during verification should be informed to the
operational staff and actions should be taken to correct the situation. Major problems or
deviations should be brought to the review of the WSP by the WSP team. Final
recommendations to be implemented then forward to the decision makers.
Verification provides evidence that the overall system design and operation is capable
of consistently delivering water of the specified quality to meet the health-based
targets. It involves three activities:

1.) Compliance monitoring – confirmation of compliance with water quality targets


2.) Internal and external auditing of operational activities it can have both an assessment
and a compliance checking role. the frequency of audit depends on the level
of confidence required by the water utility and the regulatory body
3.) Consumer satisfaction includes checking that consumers are satisfied with the water
supplied

Develop Management procedures

Management procedures are clear documentation of operational procedures for


actions to be taken when the system is operating under normal conditions, and
incident situations. The procedures should be written by experienced staff and should
be updated as necessary, particularly in light of implementation of the
improvement/upgrade plan, review of incidents, emergencies and near misses. It also
includes documentation of the system assessment, monitoring and communication plans
and supporting programs.

Develop Supporting Programme
Supporting programs are organization-wide activities that should be in place in support
of the delivery of safe quality water. These activities do not directly affect water quality
but are meant to ensure that no additional source of potential hazards will come from
the operating / surrounding environment, the equipment’s used and the people
themselves, employees and visitors alike. Management commitment entails constant
assessment that shall lead to updating of the existing programs and developing new
ones.

Activity Purpose Examples

Develop WSP review & feedback procedures

Water Safety Plan shall be review at least once a year to ensure that new risks
threatening the water sources, production and distribution of safe water are regularly
assessed and addressed. An updated, relevant WSP will maintain the confidence
and support of employees and stakeholders in the WSP approach. End-product testing
is never enough for potable water suppliers that is why the water quality
management system that is being adopted consists of a system wherein each activity
and process step has a role to play, standards expected of it and specific mechanisms to
achieve them. Following implementation of the Water Safety Plan there is a
need to review the procedures and examination of records to ensure that it is
being carried out. This is where periodic auditing comes in.

MODULE 11

Revise the WSP following an incident

To ensure that a WSP covers emerging hazards and issues, the WSP team should review
it periodically. The implementation of the WSP framework reduces the number and
severity of incidents, emergencies or near misses affecting or potentially affecting the
quality and safety of water. However, such incidents/events may still occur. Hence in
addition to the periodic review of the WSP, review of the WSP following every
emergency, incident or unforeseen event irrespective of new hazards were identified
is very important to ensure that the same incident/emergency will not recur in the
future and to determine whether the response was effective or need to be improved.
The result of a post incident review is always likely to identify areas for improvement
whether it is a new hazard, or a revised risk for the risk assessment, a revision for an
operating procedure, a training issue and the WSP must be revised to reflect the change
and incorporate the lessons learned into the WSP documentation and procedures.

Revise the WSP as necessary including updates to supporting program
