(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;
