The New South Wales (NSW) Public Health Act 2010 requires water suppliers to implement a drinking water quality assurance program that addresses the 'Framework for management of drinking water quality' in the Australian drinking water guidelines. NSW Health has recognised the importance of a staged implementation of this requirement and the need to support regional water utilities. To date, NSW Health has assisted 74 regional utilities to develop and implement their management systems. The Public Health Act 2010 has increased awareness of drinking water risk management, and offers a systematic process to identify and control risks. This has benefited large utilities, smaller suppliers, and remote and Aboriginal communities. Work is continuing to ensure implementation of the process by private suppliers and water carters.
2010年新南威尔士州（NSW）《公共卫生法》要求供水商实施一项饮用水质量保证计划，该计划需符合澳大利亚饮用水指南中的“饮用水质量管理框架”。新南威尔士州卫生部认识到分阶段实施这一要求的重要性以及支持地区供水企业的必要性。迄今为止，新南威尔士州卫生部已协助74家地区企业开发并实施其管理系统。2010年《公共卫生法》提高了对饮用水风险管理的认识，并提供了一个识别和控制风险的系统流程。这使大型企业、小型供应商以及偏远和原住民社区都从中受益。目前仍在继续努力，以确保私营供应商和运水车司机落实该流程。
