A drinking water carter must make and keep for at least six months a record of:
- The name of the water supplier from which the water carter received drinking water
- The name and address of each person to whom the water carter supplied water
- The place, date, time and volume of water supplied to that person
- Details of any substances other than drinking water transported in any water tank used by the water carter, and
- The dates on which any water tank used by the water carter was cleaned.
NSW Health and NSW Food Authority have developed Guidelines to help drinking water carters provide safe drinking water and comply with the requirements of the Public Health Act 2010, the Public Health Regulation 2012, the Food Act 2003 and the Local Government Act 1993.
Drinking water carters must develop and adhere to a Quality Assurance Program as required by the legislation.
A copy of the completed Quality Assurance Program document must be provided to the local Public Health Unit.
Further information for water carters can be accessed through the NSW Health website. If you wish to Register as a Water Carter please submit this application to Council for processing Water Carter Application (PDF 1.3MB)
