About 700 000 people in about 155 000 households

1. Western Highveld (Former Kwa-Ndebele Homeland): WC/WDM implementation • About 700 000 people in about 155 000 households • About 67% of the households have an income less that R800 per month • About 60% households have yard / house connections • About 35% of households are currently metered • About 17% of households are currently being billed

2. Problem Statement • Perennial challenge of facing a Ministerial Water Crisis Committee (Aug). • Most communities received water with disruptions & some not at all. • Strong views on the need to increase bulk supply (Bronkhortspruit Dam raising/ Extra supply from Vaal system/conflict situation with Loskop Dam allocations for farmers when communities don’t have enough water). • Existing institutions operate with levels of water losses in excess of 50 - 70%. • Revenue collection efficiencies below 30%. • Only 15% of water produced generates revenue. • Has left existing Service Provider arrangement with no means- • To operate and maintain infrastructure • Expand systems in response to consumer demands • Critical need is to: • Reduce cost of supply (Yard connections with 30% losses) • Improve revenue collection • Maximise use of existing infrastructure (asset management)

3. Structure of the Project Team • SIBAMBISENE PROJECT MANAGEMENT • Development of detailed scopes of work, work plan, programme, cash flow • Strategic Project Direction • Day to day management & coordination of teams • Client Liaison • Project Finances • Interproject Liaison • TECHNICAL • GIS/Structural Model • Meter Installation • Sectorisation • Hydraulic Modelling • Pressure Management • System Performance • Leakage Control • SOCIAL • KAP Survey • Passive Leakage Control • Consumer education • Awareness Material • INSTITUTIONAL • WSA Capacity • Operational Capacity • Policy and By-laws • Financial Viability • Customer Management • Broader Institutional Issues SUSTAINABLE WATER LOSS CONTROL & IMPROVED SERVICE PROVISION
