4.5 Desired standards of service

4.5.1 Purpose

The desired standard of service for a trunk infrastructure network is the standard of performance stated in the extrinsic material with the key standards of performance stated in this section.

4.5.2 Water supply network

The desired standard of service for the water supply network is as follows:

(a) ensure drinking water complies with the National Health and Medical Research Council Australian drinking water guidelines for colour, turbidity and microbiology;

(b) convey potable water from the South East Queensland Water Grid supply points to consumers in accordance with the Water Act 2000 and Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008;

(c) minimise non-revenue water loss;

(d) locate future trunk infrastructure for the water supply network identified in the plans for trunk infrastructure in Schedule 3 along an actual alignment identified as part of a feasibility study;

(e) design the water supply network in accordance with the following:

(B) the minimum capacity of the underground drainage system is to be the 2 year ARI (50% AEP) rainfall event with the overland flow limited in order to prevent flooding of utility and living areas, however in some cases the underground drainage system may need to be upgraded to the 10 year ARI (10% AEP) rainfall event;

(C) overland flow paths should be provided for the conveyance of flows in excess of the capacity of the underground drainage system unless deemed impractical by the Council.

(d) road crossing structures shall be designed to provide an appropriate level of flood immunity in accordance with the following:

(i) the latest version of the Queensland Urban Drainage Manual;
