Stratford WTP’s backwash pond.
During the monitoring period SDC complied with all abstraction and discharge limits, and all abstraction
data was provided in timely manner. Toko water supply still has minor issues in regards to how abstraction
rates were measured, however a compliance plan was put in place to rectify this.
During the year, the SDC demonstrated a good level of environmental performance and a good level of
administrative performance.

The results for the SEM nuisance periphyton programme during the 2016-2017 monitoring year showed
that on one occasion at one site there was a breach of the thick mat guideline and on five occasions across
four separate sites there was a breach of the long filaments guideline, out of a total of 64 site surveys. Ten
sites could not be surveyed in spring 2016 due to high water levels. For the 2017-2018 monitoring year
there were two occasions where there

Trend analysis was performed by applying a LOWESS fit (tension 0.4) to a time scatterplot
of the percentage cover of thick mats, and long filaments of periphyton for all sites and by
testing the significance of any trend using the Mann-Kendall test at the 5% level, followed by
Benjamini-Hochberg False Discovery Rate (FDR) analysis.
