SIP 18 WATER AND SANITATION MASTER PLAN

1. SIP 18 WATER AND SANITATION MASTER PLAN Water and Sanitation Master Plan NDHS and DWA 2013 Water & Sanitation Master Plan

2. Legislative Framework • The Constitution, 1996 9Act no 108 of 1996) sec10: Every person has inherent dignity and the right to have their dignity respected and protected • Sec 24(a) Everyone has the right to an environment that is not harmful to their health or well being. • Water Services Act, 1997 (Act no 108 of 1997) • Sec 3(1) Everyone has a right of access to basic water supply and basic sanitation. • Sec 3(3) Every water services authority must, in its water services development plan provide for measures to realise these rights Water & Sanitation Master Plan

3. SANITATION BACKLOG AND CURRENT STATU Households National Sanitation Backlog Profile :1994 - 2011. (Source: Water Services National Information System (WS/NIS April 2011). Water & Sanitation Master Plan

4. Backlog Categorisation • Service delivery backlogs (people who have never been served); • Refurbishment backlogs (sanitation infrastructure that has deteriorated beyond regular maintenance requirements); • Extension backlogs (existing infrastructure that needs to be extended to provide the service to • New households in the communities) • Upgrade needs (infrastructure that does not meet the minimum standards) • Operation and Maintenance (O&M) backlogs (infrastructure that has not been properly operated and maintained, but can be adequate if funds are allocated to ensure proper operation and maintenance) Water & Sanitation Master Plan

5. Backlog estimated cost. • Households without access R13.66bn • R36.64bn to address all the infrastructure and Operations and Maintenance related backlogs • Include extension of service to brownfields without access as well as new settlements (and informal settlements) • Includes 88 127 buckets in formal areas to be eradicated • Includes about 30 000 buckets in informal areas to be eradicated • Include refurbishment of about 1000 Wastewater Treatment Plants that are not functioning properly • Based on the 2011 pricing it is estimated that about R50 billion is needed to address the above sanitation challenges Water & Sanitation Master Plan

6. Sanitation Delivery (2009/10 – 2012/13) • Department of Human Settlements delivered • 63,118 VIP toilets to homes through RHIG Grant in four years (2009/10 – 2012/13) • 800 000 VIP toilets to individual homes in four years through its HSDG Grant (2009/10 – 2012/13) • Municipalities through MIG funds delivered about 1,2 million VIP toilets in four years Water & Sanitation Master Plan

8. Scope of Project • Provide a country-wide position on the state of sanitation • Assess current sanitation backlog, with all permeations • Provide a scientific focast on future sanitation needs • Provide future Water Supply estimates to support Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) • Review Institutional capacity to guide Sanitation strategy • Development of technical variants for a sustainable operation of sanitation systems (on-site sanitation and water-borne sewer systems) • Socio-economic survey (household interviews, survey of focus groups and key informants) Water & Sanitation Master Plan

9. Ultimate aim of the Master Plan The ultimate aim of the Master Plan is to: • Country attain Open Defecation Free (ODF) status, • Promote sustainable hygiene behavior for people’s health improvement, • Promote central, regional, district, municipality cooperation • Institutionalise Village Development Committees (VDC) levels to back up sanitation movement at strategic and operational levels/ local awareness Water & Sanitation Master Plan

10. What Master Plan will entails • The Master Plan will include key principal objectives. • Firstly, define realistic design criteria for an integrated sanitation system with special regard to institutional strengths and weaknesses, community preferences as well as environmental considerations • Secondly, identify areas where on-site sanitation proves the most economic and appropriate solution and, • thirdly, develop alternate solutions for on-site sanitation systems or a centralised water-borne sewer system. • Provide for sustainable O&M i.t.o funding, water supply and technical skills requirements Water & Sanitation Master Plan

11. Water and Sanitation value chain • Potable water supply • Drinking water treatment • Waste Water Disposal • Waste Water Treatment • Waste Water reuse Water & Sanitation Master Plan

12. Funding Gap R45.5 billion • Eradication of 80 000 buckets (EC, FS, GP & WC) – R1billion • Eradication of 2.2. million backlog plus un-served R13.5 billion • Bulk Infrastructure requirements for Mater Plan – R31 billion • 317 WWTPs in under severe strain • 143 WWTPs at high risk • Almost 10 % WWTPs over design capacity • 90 % WWTPs non compliant on more than 3 effluent determinants Water & Sanitation Master Plan

13. Targeted: Bucket Eradication Projects Phase One FY2013/14 (115,000 buckets) Phase Two 2014/15 (106,000 buckets) Free State 30,000 Eastern Cape 15,000 North west 15,000 Gauteng 15,000 Western Cape 15,000 Kwa Zulu Natal 5,000 Northern Cape 5,000 Limpopo 3,000 Mpumalanga 3,000 • Free State 25,000 • Eastern Cape 15,000 • North west 15,000 • Gauteng 15,000 • Western Cape 15,000 • Kwa Zulu Natal 10,000 • Northern Cape 10,000 • Limpopo 5,000 • Mpumalanga 5,000 Water & Sanitation Master Plan

14. Project timeline • Service Providers secured end December 2013 • First Interim report expected March 2014 • Draft Master Plan by June 2014 • Final Water and Sanitation Master Plan by August 2014 Water & Sanitation Master Plan

15. Interim strategies • Eradicating buckets – MIG and USDG • Negotiate 50% MIG exclusively to Water and Sanitation in line with formula (MTEF 2014/15 – 2016/17) • Negotiate 50% of USDG exclusively to Sanitation (MTEF 2014/15 – 2016/17) • Treatment of WWTPs under strain • Upgrade & Maintenance of WWTPs – RBIG or MWIG • Urban Sanitation – O&M equitable shares • Rural Sanitation – O&M Water & Sanitation Master Plan
