  20. 6. Strategy on Access to Water for Basic use from Dams 20

  21. Introduction 21 Communities in rural areas that live in close proximity to water sources and networks have been identified throughout South Africa that do not as yet have access to sufficient and safe water to fulfill their basic needs. This issue is of serious concern for DWA who has decided that urgent action be taken in order to ensure that the basic constitutional rights of these communities are fulfilled. This project is aimed at supporting the DWA to identify communities that live in close proximity to DWA dams that do not as yet have access to water for basic domestic use. It is envisaged that the final output of this project will be a report identifying these communities without access to basic water for domestic use and providing potential solutions to the identified service delivery problem.

  22. Scope of Work Envisaged by DWA 22 • Conduct a survey of communities in close proximity to the dams as by DWA in the list below in order to ascertain which communities do not have access to a basic domestic water supply • Assess what water is available from these dams. • Determine impact of allocating some of the water from the relevant dam to communities without a basic domestic water supply. The National Water Act states that the provision of water for basic human needs is a priority issue. • Determine the level of service to be provided.

  23. Scope of Work Envisaged by DWA 23 • Ascertain existing infrastructure in the area. • Determine the possible infrastructure requirements to supply potable water to the community. • Determine the estimated capital and operational costs of this supply. • Determine the estimated timeframe required to supply the infrastructure.

  24. Dams Identified by DWA 24 24

  25. Overview of Approach Followed 25 25

  26. Approach 26 Phase 1 : Determine Location of Dams and Communities Phase 2 : Consultations with Relevant WSA’s Phase 3: Identify Possible Infrastructure Solutions Phase 4: Financial and Time Implications for Proposed Infrastructure per Dam Phase 5: Institutional Issues

  27. General Comments 27 • Currently the provinces that are focused on is: • Limpopo • North West • Eastern Cape • The full amount of funding indicated to conclude all activities was not available from inception • Therefore the aim is to conclude the full life cycle for them before commencing with the other regions to estimate what funding is remaining. • A time delay could occur if the All Town Study information is delayed due to some of the areas not yet concluded.

  28. Regional Bulk Infrastructure

  29. Is to develop an oversight and support function that will ensure the development and operational and maintenance of regional bulk infrastructure in the water sector. 1- Overview Strategic purpose 29

  30. Objectives of Programme 30 • Identify all regional bulk project requirements, through appropriate integrated planning processes. • Assist with the funding and implementation of regional bulk infrastructure projects through RBIG. • Facilitate the development of institutional arrangements and capacity to ensure the implementation and effective operations and maintenance of regional bulk infrastructure.

  31. 2 – Progress to date 31 31 109 projects were started since 07/08 financial year. 50 implementation projects have been initiated and are in construction, design or tender phase of which 36 are in construction and 14 are in design / tender phase 42 feasibility / implementation ready studies are ongoing. 17 projects have been completed.

  38. New MTEF 2011 38 2011/12 MTEF Allocation 11/12 R 1 775.3 m increase by R 100 m 12/13 R 2 233.1 m increase by R 384 m 13/14 R 2 418.8 m increase by R 468 m Total R 6 427.2 million There is an increase of approximately R 952 million

  39. Comparison: backlog and RBIG funding Urban –metro areas given less priority Housing and water scarcity sanitation and water scarcity 39

  40. 4 Alignment / Transparency 40 • CoGTA requires DWA to align RBIG with needs and all water related projects • Dep. of Human settlement is blaming other departments responsible for bulk of been responsible for constraints to service delivery Cape Time Nov 25 th 2010, p6 Problems with the provision of bulk infrastructure are stifling housing delivery across the country, says Human settlements Minister, Tokyo Sexwale….. Thus the need for a more integrated, planned and coordinated approach across various departments…

  41. Alignment 41 • Projects are motivated by WSA, therefore how can there be misalignment ? • The problem is that due to limited funds, RBIG • Has not initiated any new projects in the last 2 yrs (policy is to complete existing projects before new ones are initiated) • A significant gap exists between bulk infrastructure needs and budget available.

  42. Alignment with other programmes 42 The following alignment between RBIG and MIG are required and therefore proposed: • Scope of projects by each programme • Overlapping budgets and co-funding • Criteria / conditions for project approval • Integration of planning needs • Monitoring and evaluation procedures of project implementation

  43. Successes 43 • The programme was expanded from a 3 year term to a long term programme • The programme has expanded from R 300 million / annum in 2007/08 to R 2 418 million / annum in 2013/14 • A consolidated list of all bulk needs / projects has been developed and is been updated through 9 Regional bulk Master plans. • New innovative projects implemented (i.e desalination and Waste Water recycling) • Significant amount of new jobs created (6017 jobs). • Inter –governmental co-operation (particularly WC, & FS)

  44. Regional Bulk Expenditure 20 January 2011 44

  45. 6: Expenditure With invoices not yet processes R 490 m. 45

  46. New project management priorities 46 • DWA to take greater/direct control for implementing new RBIG projects in weak WSA utilising: • Project management capacity from DWA • Utilising the capacity of Water Boards • Utilising DWA construction • Private service providers (i.e BoTT) • Identify new institutional arrangements and models • Focus on sustainability of projects and O & M • Ensure conditions of IRS are followed through • Focus on improving agreements with WSA and DWA

  47. Conclusion 47 Most RBIG projects are large projects that require, appropriate water sector expertise for planning and implementation, they should not be entrusted to officials and institutions with limited expertise and capacity Although expenditure is slow , most funds will be utilised by the end of the financial year RBIG has been successful but not without problems
