Regulation 16

This regulation applies if a WQMP water provider proposes to amend the WQMP water provider’s approved drinking water quality management plan and the amendment is not an amendment mentioned in regulation 17.

The WQMP water provider must apply to the Agency for approval of every proposed amendment or replacement of an approved drinking water quality management plan relating to the WQMP water provider’s drinking water service.

Regulations 8(2), (3) and (4), 9, 10, 11 and 12 apply to an application under paragraph (1) and the proposed amended drinking water quality management plan as if a reference in those regulations to the drinking water quality management plan were a reference to the drinking water quality management plan proposed for amendment.

An approved drinking water quality management plan relating to a WQMP water provider’s drinking water service is superseded by an approval by Agency under this regulation to amend the drinking water quality management plan, and that drinking water quality management plan as amended with the Agency’s approval is taken to be the last approved drinking water quality management plan.
