Communications Update

by Desiré Gralton, Communications Manager

Members may have noticed that our website homepage had a bit of a facelift a couple of months ago – the aim was to make it easier to navigate to the resource library and our key programs.

The qldwater Resource Library contains more than 2,500 items in a member only secure zone and classified according to the following categories:

• Whole of Business – resources that cover the whole business e.g. management, human resources, skills and training,

• Water Source – resources relating to water sources including dams, rivers, bores etc,

• Water Treatment – resources relating to water treatment plants,

• Water Network - resources relating to the broader water network including pipes, pumps, reservoirs etc,

• Customers - resources relating to customer service / standards,

• Sewage Treatment - resources relating to sewage treatment plants,

• Sewerage Network - resources relating to the broader sewerage network including pipes and pump stations,

• Recycle / Reuse - resources relating to the recycle and reuse of water, wastewater, biosolids etc.

Recent updates include:

• A range of fatigue management and risk assessment sample documents shared by members,

• A report on Water Quality Testing for Treatment Optimisation,

• A chlorate position statement,

• A procedure for condition assessment of AC pipes,

• A range of presentations from events,

• Fundamentals Webinar Series where members can view all webinar recordings embedded on the site. Our communication platforms now include the qldwater website, the qldwatercareers website, the water training website and learning management system, the Chemical Concoctions website (currently under review) and our Zoho online forum
