20.6.4 Volume of nonpotable water export

                             

Supporting information   


Shoalhaven City Council exported 1,174 ML of nonpotable water (raw water diverted from the Shoalhaven River) from its distribution system to its service area in the Clyde Catchment, which is outside of the Sydney region.

 

Quantification approach   


Data source

Shoalhaven City Council’s telemetry system.

 

Data provider

Shoalhaven City Council.

 

Method

Data sourced from the telemetry system for the flow meters that measure raw water deliveries were used for the line item.

 

Uncertainty

The volume was estimated from measured data. Estimated uncertainty, based on meter accuracy and professional judgment on determination of boundaries of water supply areas beyond the Sydney region, is +/–5%.

 

Approximations, assumptions, caveats/limitations

The compilation of data for the line item has been difficult due to the Sydney region not aligning with the boundaries of Shoalhaven City Council. All effort was made by the council to ensure data provided here are as accurate, on a suburb/location basis, as possible.
