3 Operating Environment Review Before establishing a long term strategic plan it is essential to understand the external and internal environment within which Coffs Harbour Water expect to operate in the future. This section provides an overall assessment of CHW’s existing and future situation and of the services provided. It will identify areas where problems or constraints exist, which could affect the provision of water supply and sewerage services. 3.1 Institutional Arrangements 3.1.1 Water Supply Agreements CHW delivers water supply and sewerage services as a local water utility (LWU) under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1993. The water supply and sewerage operations are a unit within Coffs Harbour Water Operational Section. In regards to the major extractions from the Nymboida River, water sharing is structured along the following arrangements. Essential Energy holds a water licence under the Water Act 1912 used for extraction of water from the Nymboida Weir. Clarence Valley Council (CVC) obtains bulk raw water supply from Essential Energy on the basis of a negotiated service agreement with Essential Energy. In turn Coffs Harbour Water (CHW) has a service agreement with CVC for the provision of bulk water supply. Each of the licences and agreements incorporates provisions to protect low flows. (Source: CHW IWCM Concept Study, Feb 2010). CHW staff has advised that Essential Energy agreement with CVC will be reviewed in 2012. CVC should consult with CHW. 3.1.2 Sewerage Agreements CHW has a biosolids management contract with Biomass. Biomass is currently responsible to management collection and appropriate disposal of biosolids. CHW does not have a biosolids management emergency plan should Biomass terminate the contract. NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) requires audit and risk assessment of farm irrigation systems using reclaimed water. CHW is currently preparing a recycle water management plan which is aimed to comply with OEH requirements. CHW recycled water agreements are due to be updated and extended.
