*Not applicable when stage 2 or greater restrictions are in place.

During flow changes on the Yarra Valley Conduit, HGL may reduce to approx. 257.00
metres for up to 12 hours if the surge tower at Silvan is offline.

2. Emergency Supply from Yarra - Silvan Conduits

From time to time, especially during emergency or storm events, this zone may need to be
supplied from the Yarra Silvan Conduits rather than the Yarra Valley Conduit. MW will
use its best endeavours to provide and chlorinate the best quality water available at the
time from the Yarra Silvan Conduit, but cannot guarantee that such a supply would
satisfy the requirements of clause 10.1. A failure by MW to meet the requirements of
clause 10.1 when supplying water from the Yarra Silvan Conduits does not constitute a
breach of this agreement.

Reservoir Nominal Operating Level:

* During summer, MW will aim to maintain Lewis Hill Tank above a level of 306.00 m

SCHEDULE 3

WAT ER QUALITY STANDARDS

1. OPERATING PRACTICES

1 GENERAL PRINCIPLES

1.1 MW must ensure that its systems and processes are compliant with the Safe
Drinking Water Regulations 2015 (Vic).

1.2 In order to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Regulations 2015 (Vic), MW must
take a risk based approach to safeguarding product quality.

1.3 Any changes to the rationale used in controlling risk must be reviewed by YVW
prior to implementation.

1.4 MW must ensure that any system changes with potential quality impacts are to be
communicated and approved by YVW via the OCCP process.

2 PRIMARY TREATMENT

2.1 MW must ensure that effective disinfection of drinking water is achieved before it
reaches the first consumer offtake. The basis of effective disinfection is to be detailed
in the Drinking Water Quality Management Plan.

2.2 For systems reliant on chlorination for primary disinfection, a general adjustment
factor of 0.7 is to be used to calculate Ct to allow for the decay characteristics of
chlorine, unless an alternative factor has been agreed to by both parties:

Ct = C x 0.7 x T

C= the free chlorine residual (mg/L) measured at a chlorination plant.

T= the time taken for water to travel from the primary chlorinator to the first
consumer (minutes).

Version 23 98
 Uncontrolled copy when printed
2.3 The parties will collaborate in developing, in accordance with sub-clause 8.2 (b), a
protocol for chlorine residual management. The developed protocol will give
consideration of other system operating constraints, such as hydraulic requirements
and the needs of other Licensees and their customers, and will address:

2.3.1 Methodologies to optimise chlorine residuals and set chlorine residual targets
across the entire Melbourne water system;

2.3.2 Monitoring and data acquisition requirements regarding measurement of

chlorine residuals and associated parameters; and

2.3.3 Operational triggers and corrective actions to improve chlorine residual

management.

2. PART B WATER QUALITY MONITORING

1 INTERPRETATION

In this Part:

"Monitoring Point" includes Water Quality Monitoring Point and Entry Point.

"year" means a rolling 12 month period.

“action” means as per agreed procedures or in consultation with YVW.

“standard” means the standards detailed for the relevant Monitoring Points in Part C.

Version 23 99
 Uncontrolled copy when printed
“regulated standard” means the standards prescribed in the Safe Drinking Water
Regulations 2015 (Vic).

2 REPORTING

MW must set out in the monthly Customer Report to YVW:

 Results for the preceding 12 months at each Monitoring Point for compliance with the
BWSA standards in Part C of this schedule

 Corrective actions and investigations taken within the relevant month

Version 23 100
 Uncontrolled copy when printed

3 HEALTH-RELATED PARAMETERS

3.1 MW will implement a sampling and laboratory analysis program that complies
with the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Regulations 2015 (Vic).

3.2 Measured water quality at any Monitoring Point is to comply with the specification
in the Safe Drinking Water Regulations 2015 (Vic).

3.3 Upon any E. coli detection for a Monitoring Point, MW must declare an incident in
accordance with Clause 14.3 and take immediate action to identify and rectify any
cause of the E. coli detection.

3.4 Each party must notify the other immediately if any routine sample exceeds the Safe
Drinking Water Regulations 2015 (Vic) standards for THMs. MW must take action if
any sample at a Monitoring Point exceeds the regulated standards for THMs.

4 AESTHETIC PARAMETERS

4.1 GENERAL

4.1.1 During extreme operating periods (including drought recovery or emergencies)

MW and YVW can, by mutual agreement, vary the aesthetic standards and action
limits for specific Monitoring Points to optimise the operation of the water supply
system (including harvesting of water sources).

4.1.2 If the trend for any aesthetic parameter is leading toward an exceedance of any
aesthetic standards and action limits, MW must consult with YVW and undertake
agreed actions.

Version 23 101
 Uncontrolled copy when printed
4.2 TURBIDITY

4.2.1 Of samples taken at any Monitoring Point, the 95%ile in any year must be less than
or equal to the standard in Part C for each source water

4.3 A PPARENT COLOUR

4.3.1 Of samples taken at any Monitoring Point in any year, the 95%ile in any year must
be less than or equal to the standards in Part C for each source water

4.3.2 Apparent colour is used for this standard rather than true colour because apparent
colour is a more direct indicator of what customers will observe of the water. It is
also a conservative measure being greater than the true colour. Melbourne Water
must test for true colour when values of apparent colour exceed 15 Pt/Co units.

4.4 pH

4.4.1 Of samples of water taken at any Monitoring Point in any year, the 5%ile and
95%ile data must lie within the standards in Part C.

4.5 IRON

4.5.1 Of samples of water taken at any Monitoring Point, , the 95% ile of samples of
water collected in any year must not be greater than 0.15 mg/L.

4.6 MA NGANESE

4.6.1 Of samples of water taken at any Monitoring Point, the 95% ile of samples of water
collected in any year must not be greater than 0.05 mg/L.

4.7 A LUMINIUM (ACID SOLUBLE)

4.7.1 Of samples of water taken at any Monitoring Point where aluminium-based

treatment chemicals have been used, the 95% ile at any site for any year must not
be greater than 0.10 mg/L .

4.7.2 Of samples of water taken at any Monitoring Point where aluminium-based

chemicals have not been used, the 95% ile at any of these sites for any year must
not be greater than 0.15 mg/L

4.7.3 MW must take immediate action if aluminium (acid soluble) in any sample
exceeds:

a. 0.10 mg/L at any Monitoring Point that aluminium based chemicals

have been used in the treatment process

b. 0.15 mg/L at any Monitoring Point supplied from a source that has not
been treated with an aluminium based chemical in the treatment process.

4.8 BORON

4.8.1 Of samples of water taken at any Monitoring Point, the maximum for any year
must not be greater than 1 mg/L.

4.9 TOTA L DISSOLVED SOLIDS

4.9.1 Of samples of water taken at any Monitoring Point, the maximu m for any year
must not be greater than 140 mg/L.

4.10 BROMIDE

4.10.1 Of samples of water taken at any Monitoring Point, the maximum for any year
must not be greater than 0.1 mg/L.

SCHEDULE 6

FORMULAE FOR DETERMINING WATER SUPPLIED TO YVW

1. The volume of water supplied by MW to YVW in any period is determined by the

formula:

V=I– D

Where:

V is the volume supplied for that period.

I is the sum of the metered inflows for that period at each Billing Point described in Table
A.

D is the sum of the metered outflows for that period at each Billing Period described in
Table B.

2. For the purpose of item 1, metered inflows and metered outflows are determined
by reference to readings from each Billing Meter which are recorded by MW’s
SCADA System.

3. For one billing period in every three months the Volume calculated under item 1 will
include the total volume of water supplied through meters in the preceding three months
at:

(a) the Yellingbo offtake (inflow); and

(b) the inlet to the Silvan Inlet channel from the Seville Reservoir (outflow).

4. Despite item 3(b), in any period when the Silvan Inlet Channel is supplied from the Seville
Reservoir, MW:

(a) may include an estimate of the volume so supplied in the preceding week in each
invoice given under sub-paragraph 22.1(a)(ii); and, if so

(b) must make a corresponding adjustment to allow for every such estimate, when
making an adjustment under item 3(b).

SCHEDULE 8 PROTOCOLS

8.1 Protocol for Notification of changes to Disinfection Setpoints between Yarra

Valley Water and Melbourne Water

1. Principles

Melbourne Water is responsible for the Disinfection of bulk water supplied to the retail
water companies.

As the operator of all Primary Disinfection Plants and some Secondary Disinfection
Plants, Melbourne Water is required to adjust disinfection setpoints from time to time.

The Bulk Water Supply Agreement (BWSA 1999) sets out Melbourne Water’s obligations
relating to Primary Disinfection setpoint changes. Melbourne Water acknowledges that
any changes to disinfection setpoints whether they be Primary or Secondary p lants can
potentially impact on Yarra Valley Water’s customers and compliance with Yarra Valley
Water’s licence requirements.

Melbourne Water and Yarra Valley Water also acknowledge that there is a need to
optimise setpoints to achieve a balance between customer satisfaction and
microbiological compliance. The primary considerations in changing setpoints will be the
health of retail water company customers and maintaining compliance with operating
licence requirements and water quality guidelines.

2. Purpose

The purpose of this protocol is to clarify notification procedures for disinfection setpoint
changes in consideration of the above and to achieve a consistent approach across the
Melbourne Water system.

3. Minimum Setpoints for Primary Disinfection P lants supplying YVW

Customers.

In accordance with Clause 10.1 (b) of the BWSA 1999, Melbourne Water will not drop

8.2 Protocol for Installing, Maintaining, Operating, Reading and Testing Bulk
Water Billing meters between Yarra Valley Water and Melbourne Water

1. Principles

Melbourne Water Corporation (MWC) is responsible for the measurement of Bulk Water
supplied to Yarra Valley Water Limited (YVW) and is the owner and manager of all Bulk
Water Billing meters.

The Bulk Water Supply Agreement (BWSA 1999) sets out MWC's obligations relating to
Bulk Water Billing meters. Under Clause 24.6, MWC and YVW must adopt and
implement a protocol for installing, maintaining, operating, reading and testing of Billing
meters.

The parties acknowledge the high degree of importance of accurately measuring the
volume of bulk water and that there is a transparent and auditable management system
for the billing meters.

2. Purpose

The purpose of this protocol is to outline the objectives and key elements of MWC's
management system for bulk water billing meters to ensure a high degree of accuracy
associated with the bulk water volumes purchased by YVW.

3. Installation.

The location of new billing meters will be agreed between the Principal Representatives.

New billing meters will be installed to the manufacturers specification to achieve a

volumetric accuracy of + 1% or better at the meter and will be the following types unless
agreed otherwise:

- For pipe diameters 750mm and above, meters will be dual track transit time
ultrasonics installed under dry main conditions.
- For pipe diameters 600mm and below, meters will be full bore electromagnetic
meters.

New billing meters are to have a minimum clearance of 10 pipe diameters upstream and
5 pipe diameters downstream.

As constructed drawings of the new meters and associated works will be forwarded to
YVW at the completion of the installation project.

Version 23 138
 Uncontrolled copy when printed
New billing meters will be included in the Formulae for Determining Water Supplied to
YVW (Ref. Schedule 6 BWSA 1999) from a date agreed between the Principal
Representatives, in a variation to the BWSA 1999.

Information relating to all Billing meters will be included in MWC's asset management
database (Hansen).

Meters will be self diagnostic with respect to electronic malfunctions. Any drift outside
the manufacturers tolerances will be detectable on routine checking of the m eter.

4. Routine Checks

Billing meters will be managed under MWC's Asset Management System (Hansen).
Checking and maintenance will be carried out by MWC. Work procedures relating to
billing meters will be documented and auditable and all equipment used to check the
billing meters shall be tested by equipment with a traceability certificate to a NATA
certified laboratory. The following checks will be undertaken as part of a routine
program:

- Electronic Calibration/Simulation
The electronic signal from the billing meter will undergo routine checks (termed
electronic calibration/simulations). An auditable record of each check will be kept
by MWC and provided on request to YVW. Routine calibration/simulations will
be undertaken at the following frequencies:

For meters measuring an average flow of 3 Ml/d or less - 12monthly

For meters measuring an average flow of 3 to 50 Ml/d - 6monthly
For meters measuring an average flow of more than 50 Ml/d - 3monthly

A rolling 12 month summary of results from electronic calibration/simulation will

be included in the monthly customer report to YVW. Where an electronic signal
has drifted resulting in a volumetric difference outside of a + 1% tolerance, it shall
be reported separately in the monthly Customer Rep ort.

- Self Diagnosis Checks

The self diagnostic output from the meter will be checked (where the facility for
testing exists) during each routine visit. Any parameters outside tolerance will be
reported to the manufacturer for advice.

- Telemetry Performance Checks

During the routine electronic simulation a telemetry check will be made on the
electronic signal transmitted on site with the electronic signal received by the
telemetry system at the Water Operations Control Centre at Preston. An auditable
record of each telemetry check will be kept by MWC and provided on request to
YVW. Where a telemetry check indicates a discrepancy resulting in a volumetric

Version 23 139
 Uncontrolled copy when printed
difference outside of a + 1% tolerance it shall be reported separately in the monthly
Customer Report.

- Volumetric/Velocity Checks
MWC, in conjunction with YVW, will identify and trial viable volumetric/velocity
test methods where appropriate. Where a conclusive, sufficiently accurate and
viable volumetric/velocity test method has been established, MWC will include
this method in its Asset Management Plan for Bulk Water Metering.

Where practicable MWC will facilitate any volumetric/velocity checks required by

YVW in accordance with the obligations under the BWSA.

5. Operation, Adjustment & Repair.

Where the electronic output of a billing meter is outside a + 1% tolerance, the electronic
signal will be calibrated by MWC.

Where the volumetric accuracy determined under an agreed and conclusive

volumetric/velocity test, is outside a + 1% tolerance, the discrepancy will be referred to
the manufacturer for advice on meter adjustment.

Where a meter is faulty a works order will be immediately issued with the following
priority:

Level 1 (Investigate & Report within 1 day)

For meters measuring > 50 ML/d
For meters measuring > 10 ML/d and there is no reliable means of estimating volumes.

Level 2 (Investigate & Report within 2 days)

For meters measuring less than 50 ML/d

MWC will endeavour to have a billing meter repaired within 7 days of the error being
detected.

6. Re-Calibrating and Replacing.

Faults which cannot be rectified by MWC', will be referred to the meter manufacturer for
advice on further testing, re-calibration or replacement. Where a fault investigation report
indicates that repairs are to take longer than 7 days, MWC will discuss the proposed
method of estimating the volumes with YVW and agree on interim arrangements.

7. Reading Measurements.

Measurements from each Billing Meter will be read remotely and recorded within
MWC's SCADA system.

Version 23 140
 Uncontrolled copy when printed
Daily volumes will be calculated in accordance with MWC's Asset Management Plan for
Bulk Water Metering and forwarded daily to YVW as provisional totals

Weekly volumes for calculating YVW's usage charge will be calculated in accordance
with MWC's Asset Management Plan for Bulk Water Metering.

- Use of Totalised Values

MWC will undertake a review of its current methods of meter reading and
telemetry systems in order to determine and implement the most appropriate use
of the on-site totaliser values in the billing process.

8. Auditing

Melbourne Water will carry out an annual internal audit, using the principles of ISO9001,
to ensure compliance with this protocol.

8.3 Protocol for responding to high turbidity from Upper Yarra Reservoir supplying
the Yarra Valley Townships.

1. Principles

With respect to the Upper Yarra Valley townships (i.e. those supplied from the Brahmas
Rd, Lyrebird Ave, Martyr Rd, Yarra Junction, and Lusatia Park offtakes) the turbidity is
normally about 2 NTU and Schedule 3 of the BWSA stipulates that MWC must take
immediate action if the turbidity exceeds 3.5 NTU.

2. Purpose

The purpose of this protocol is to ensure that an alternative supply from Silvan Reservoir
is available to the Yarra Valley townships to maintain safe and aesthetically acceptable
drinking water as required.

3. Background.

Following a major storm event in June 2007, the turbidity of the water released from the
Upper Yarra Reservoir rose to unprecedented levels. Due to concerns about the
effectiveness of the processes used at the five small disinfection plants serving the Yarra
Valley townships, as a precautionary measure ‘Boil Water’ notices were issued from the
16 July 2007 and these remained in force until lifted on 14 August 2007.

In order to prevent ‘Boil Water’ notices in the future, MWC installed filtration plants at
the five offtakes to the townships. The purpose of these plants was to lower the turbidity

Version 23 141
 Uncontrolled copy when printed
of the incoming water during these events so that adequate disinfection by the primary
treatment plants could be maintained.

Subsequent to the filtration plants being constructed, MWC has prepared a means of
alternative supply from Silvan Reservoir to the townships via the Yarra Valley Conduit
(YVC). The alternative supply involves pumping water from Silvan Reservoir into the
surge tank at the Silvan inlet mini-hydro site. This surge tank provides a controlled
pressure of supply into the YVC. Further pumping is required along the YVC to deliver
water from Warburton to East Warburton.

The alternative supply from Silvan means that the filtration plants are no longer required
for the Yarra Valley Townships and these have been removed from service.

Note that the O’Shannassy Reservoir source can also be used to supply the YVC but this
would be limited by the variation in water quality from this source.

4. Operation of alternative supply to the Yarra Valley Townships

MWC will consult immediately with YVW to determine whether to implement the
alternative supply to the Yarra Valley Townships when:

a) The water supplied to the townships from the Yarra Valley Conduit exceeds the
BWSA action limit of 3.5 NTU for more than 24 hours as measured at the Yarra
Junction Offtake; or

b) MWC has identified a perceived risk from a pathogen contamination of the Upper
Yarra Reservoir; or

c) MWC has identified a pending dramatic change in the aesthetic quality of water
in the Upper Yarra Dam due to the poor quality of storage inflows associated with
a high rainfall event in the catchment; or

d) YVW is experiencing abnormal levels of customer water quality complaints across

one or more of the Yarra Town systems which is considered associated with the
quality of water supplied from the Upper Yarra Dam.

MWC will ensure that it can implement the alternative supply from Silvan Reservoir
within a time period of 2 days. (This is well within the travel time of water from Upper
Yarra Reservoir to the first offtake at Brahams Road, East Warburton when the YVC is
reduced to low flow).

When the alternative supply from Silvan Reservoir and/or O’Shannassy Reservoir has
been implemented to manage a water quality event, MWC will reinstate supply from the
Upper Yarra Reservoir:

Version 23 142
 Uncontrolled copy when printed

a) Upon demonstrating that turbidity has been at a maximum of 3.0 NTU for a
period of 7 days, at the respective off takes from the Yarra Valley Conduit; or

b) The perceived risks to the possible deterioration of water quality has passed; or

c) By agreement with YVW.

8.4 Protocol for Joint Management of Leaks in the water supply pipeline system

5. Background

Yarra Valley Water and Melbourne Water have developed this protocol to clarify principles by
which the companies would respond to water leaks in cases where it is initially uncertain whose
asset is responsible for the leak. The need for this protocol is acknowledged following leaks on
both Melbourne Water and Yarra Valley Water assets being notified to and investigated by each
other.
6. Purpose

The purpose of this protocol is to clarify the procedures for locating and repairing leaks on either
company’s pipeline assets, to achieve a consistent and lowest cost approach to pipeline repair
across the Melbourne Water system.

7. Principles

For cases where the source of the leakage, and the owner of the asset cannot be easily identified,
the following principles will be applied:
1) Where the matter is deemed by the notified Company to be urgent (eg causing major damage,
significant loss of water or adverse public attention) the notified Company shall immediately
commence investigation with an objective of prompt repair.
2) Where the matter is not urgent there is to be joint agreement on who undertakes the
investigation to identify the source of the leak.
3) Where agreement cannot be reached on the most likely owner of the leaking asset, the first
notified company shall undertake investigations to identify the leaking asset.
4) Once the owner of the leaking asset is identified the owner shall be promptly informed and
arrangements made for smooth hand over of the site to the owner or owners representative
5) The Company responsible for the leaking asset shall be responsible for all costs associated
with the leak. This includes but is not limited to damages, investigation and repair costs.
6) Once the owner of the asset is identified claims for the costs of wasted water will be
backdated to the date the leak was first notified.

Attachment A Additional Dosing Facilities

1 Process Description

The function of the Additional Dosing Facility is, by the addition of lime
and carbon dioxide, to increase the alkalinity of the water entering the
Whittlesea supply zone from the Plant.

As the zone is supplied both from the Plant and by water from other
sources when the Plant is “off-line”, the Additional Dosing Facilities will be
capable of dosing all water entering the Whittlesea pipeline.

Lime slurry, prepared in the modified pre-lime facility that previously

existed at the Plant will be supplied under pressure to the Whittlesea
pipeline downstream of the Upstream Interface Point. The addition of
carbon dioxide will re-carbonate the water thus increasing its natural
alkalinity.

Carbon dioxide gas will be stored as a liquid under pressure at 1400 kPa.
The dosing plant will vaporize the liquid carbon dioxide gas through a bath
heater and regulate the gas flow rate under pressure through an actuated
control valve. Gas pressure will be mixed with water in the carry water line
at sufficient water pressure to inject the gas / water mixture into the
Whittlesea pipeline.

Carry water will be taken from a tapping on the Whittlesea pipeline

adjacent to the gas storage vessel. A pressure booster pump will operate to
inject carbon dioxide gas / water mixture into the Whittlesea pipeline a
short distance downstream of the lime injection point.

The gas dosing system and pipework will be sized to accurately deliver
over a range of at least 20:1 for dose and 10:1 for flow. The gas flow control
valve must be capable of metering flows in the range 1.0 to 20 kg/hr and be
able to modulate accurately and reliably in that range.

The carry water injection pressure will be maintained by the booster pumps
at a flow rate which is relatively constant and which will be independent of
the carbon dioxide dose rate or the number of Whittlesea pumps operating.

“No flow” protection will be installed on the carry water system and
interlocked to the carbon dioxide system.

Version 23 152
 Uncontrolled copy when printed
The existing (Yan Yean) lime storage, preparation and mixing controls will
be modified to allow the plant to operate in automatic mode independent
of the operation of Plant.

The duty and stand-by Whittlesea lime dosing pumps will be of the
peristaltic type rated for 1500 kPa operating pressure.

A new PLC and control equipment will be located in the MCC “E” in the
room next to the lime slurry and dosing room.

2 Pressure Rating

The alkalinity plant must be capable of injecting lime and carbon dioxide
gas into the 375 mm via Whittlesea main, located within the confines of the
Yan Yean WTP site, under all normal operating conditions.

Normal operating conditions will include the pressure and flow conditions
induced when one, two or three pumps are operating i.e. 30 l/s, 65 l/s and
100 l/s.

3 Layout of Works

Yan Yean Water will locate the carbon dioxide equip ment, lime and gas
dosing lines to avoid interference with existing pipelines and structures
associated with the Whittlesea Pumping Station and main and the existing
treatment facilities associated with the Plant.

4 Telemetry

Primary signals from the chemical dosing systems, flow measurement and
water quality monitoring instrumentation will be transmitted to and be
integrated with the existing telemetry and SCADA control systems serving
the Plant.

5 Water Quality Monitoring

pH of the alkalinity adjusted water leaving the Yan Yean site via the
Whittlesea pipeline will be continuously monitored. An output signal will
be directed to the SCADA system that will have the capability of
continuously tracking the value. The alkalinity adjustment plant will be

Version 23 153
 Uncontrolled copy when printed
operated to ensure a zero adjustment of the pH of water leaving the
Whittlesea Pumping Station. It is not the intent of the scheme to
independently adjust the pH of the water.

A sample tap shall be provided at the downstream water quality

monitoring point to allow a grab sample to be taken.

Alkalinity values shall be determined by laboratory analysis.

6 Ownership

The 375 mm diam. cast iron pipeline delivering water from the Whittlesea
Pumping Station to the community of Whittlesea, including that length
between the Additional Dosing Interface Points will remain in the
ownership of MW or YVW, throughout the term of Schedule 9.
