Annual Performance Inspections (API’s) Water and Wastewater Systems

Background:

  • Initial National Assessment completed by Neegan Burnside in 2009/10 & 2010/11
  • Program mandated to complete on an annual basis
  • To be completed by a 3rd party
  • API’s are now completed by FNTSAG (since 2011/2012)
  • API identifies risks associated with the system
  • Water:
  • Source -10%
  • Design - 30%
  • Operations - 30%
  • Reporting - 10%
  • Operators - 20%
  • Wastewater:
  • Effluent Receiver - 20%
  • Design – 25%
  • Operations – 25%
  • Reporting – 10%
  • Operators – 20%
  • Overall risk score and Component scores are assigned to each system
