- Abstract: This paper deals with the management in the area of water quality in systems characterized by uneven seasonal water production and consumption. We present a model for managing water supply systems in terms of monitoring water quality, while introducing performance indicators (abbreviated PI) containing variables directly or indirectly related to water quality. In the discussion section, we explain each individual group of indicators and give reasons for their use. We present results of setting an IP matrix related to the issue of improving water quality in the system. The main aim is to establishing a methodology to improve efficiency, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a water system with a seasonal customer boom when resources and the total quantity of water in the system are at a minimum, by applying IPs.
