Water Safety Plans

Drinking Water Safety Plans for New Zealand councils and water suppliers.

Practical, supply-specific Water Safety Plans that identify real risks, document control measures, and set clear improvement actions for source, treatment, storage, and distribution systems.

Water Safety Plans that operators and governance teams can use.

JK Process prepares and reviews Water Safety Plans for drinking water suppliers across New Zealand. The work brings together site observations, operator knowledge, compliance information, treatment performance, source water risks, and distribution system vulnerabilities.

The aim is documentation that is technically robust, aligned with regulatory expectations, and useful for day-to-day risk management. Each plan should help a supplier understand what can go wrong, how it is controlled, and what needs to improve.

Typical scope

  • Site visits and operator interviews
  • Source, treatment, storage, and distribution risk assessment
  • Review of water quality results, SCADA trends, and compliance history
  • Assessment of treatment barriers and critical control points
  • Supply-specific risk registers and improvement plans
  • Review or preparation of Water Safety Plan documents
  • Regulator-facing and governance-ready summary material

Common Water Safety Plan questions

Can you review an existing Water Safety Plan?

Yes. JK Process can review current plans, test whether the risks and controls reflect the actual supply, and identify gaps in documentation, monitoring, and improvement planning.

Do you work across multiple supplies?

Yes. JK Process has delivered multi-supply Water Safety Plan programmes covering surface water, bore sources, conventional treatment, membranes, UV, and chlorination.
