  1. Bucket Eradication Status & Action Plans Presentation to Select Committee on Land & Environmental Affairs Dated the 23rd of February 2007 Presented by: MEC Mafereka

  2. Definition of a Bucket System to be Eradicated Elimination of a historic plastic or any other form of bucket system in formalized areas and replacing it with a suitable approved alternative.

  3. Current Status on Eradication of Buckets in the Free State • Total buckets 2004  160 000 • Current Backlog Jan 2007  88 791 • Buckets eradicated to date Jan 2007  71 209 • Funding required to eradicate current backlog @ R9000/bucket as per Policy 2006  R799.1 million • Funding required to eradicate current backlog @ an average unit cost in the FS @ R12 534/bucket  R1 113 billion • Funding available currently  R 679.9 m • Shortfall  R 566.1m

  4. Current Status on Eradication of Buckets in the Free State

  5. Delivery Hot Spot Areas in the Free State • The Free State has challenges of Water Resources in the following Municipal areas: • Dihlabeng • Sterkfontein-Qwaqwa • Nketoane • Ngwathe • Jagersfontien-Fauresmith • Rouxville-Smithfield • Tokologo • As a result, it becomes extremely difficult to eradicate buckets with waterborne sanitation.

  6. Delivery Hot Spot Areas in the Free State (Cont …) • Most municipalities have capacity problems with their sewer treatment plants, they will require upgrading and the province has a short fall of R500 million. • Few existing sewer treatment plants have spare capacity. • Some municipalities are currently not eradicating buckets until they have DoRA allocations in the new financial year (see slide on current status on eradication)

  7. Potential Problem Areas in WSAs • Most municipalities experience shortage of technical skills, the department of LG&H together with DWAF have made available engineers to assist with technical supervision at the WSAs. • A water supply master plan has been developed and it should be implemented as soon as funding is available • A decision making tool to guide municipalities for the choice of sanitation of technology, referred to as the sanitation strategy document, has been developed & municipalities to adhere to it.

  8. Potential Problem Areas in WSAs (Cont…) • Enforce implementation role-out plan as presented, through continuous monitoring • Review unit cost to meet current average in FS • Obtain additional R 566 million to enable the eradication of 45 000 units not yet funded • Ensure that detail action plans, focused on sustainability are being implemented

  9. Expenditure Performance To Jan 2007

  10. Budget Constraints • Current Backlog Jan 2007  88 791 • Buckets eradicated to date Jan 2007  71 209 • Funding required to eradicate current backlog @ R9000/bucket as per Policy 2006  R799.1 million • Funding required to eradicate current backlog @ an average unit cost in the FS @ R12 534/bucket  R1 113 billion • Funding available currently  R 679.9 m • Shortfall  R 566.1m

  11. Provincial Delivery Constraints • Shortage of funding to eliminate all buckets by October 2007 • Ceiling cost per bucket currently of R9000 is not adequate vs. the current average cost of R12 534 • Poor attendance by municipal key staff and politicians in most meetings • No proper roll out plans were available at municipalities during the bucket eradication workshops • Shortage of water in certain municipalities • Insufficient capacity on the existing bulk infrastructure • Some LMs are extending their Programmes to 2008/09

  33. Establish Capacity Constraints • Most rural municipalities are not able to attract the right caliber of skill/expertise they require • No sufficient monitoring of water services delivery at municipal level • Low expenditure of project implementation • Lack of capacity in engaging communities in service delivery issues • Lack of capacity at municipal level to facilitate revenue collection and credit control • Lack of technical expertise mostly in Water & sewer treatment plants, hence water quality problems
