STRATEGIC INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT 18 (SIP 18) National water and sanitation infrastructure master plan 1
Introduction • The SIP has been developed • The SIP will be launched by April 2013, led by Minister Molewa with the support of Ministers Sexwale, Baloyi and the PICC Secretariat
SIP 18: National Water and Sanitation Infrastructure Master Plan This 10-year plan will address the estimated backlog of adequate water to 1,4 million households and 2,1 million households to basic sanitation. The recent “green drop” report indicates that of 914 water supply systems assessed , 41% scored less than 50%. Similarly, 55% out of 821 wastewater treatment works are in a collapsed state. On site sanitation systems provided in mostly rural areas are relatively robust but there is inadequate provision for pit emptying. Improved arrangements with respect to national entities, catchment management agencies and water boards are proposed for the water institutions responsible for infrastructure with a replacement asset value estimated at R 968bn. Water wastage and inefficiencies account for revenue losses of more than R11bn per annum in the municipal sector alone. As a water scarce country, the PICC supports water demand measure including advanced pressure management projects, water leak management and water demand awareness measures. National Project: All Provinces • Projects to provide new infrastructure, rehabilitate and upgrade existing infrastructure for: • Development of water resources • Potable water supply • Non-potable water distribution • Collection of water borne sewage • Waste water treatment • On-site sanitation • 2. Projects to improve management of water infrastructure: • Focussed Asset Management programme • Revision of water sector institutions • Capacity building of rural municipalities • National Water Conservation/Water Demand Management Programme 3

SIP 18: Integrated National Water and Sanitation Master Plan • An implementation plan is being consolidated. • Commence with the consolidation of the institutions in the water services sector • Form an Inter Ministerial Committee to strengthen the partnerships and role definition between DWA, Human Settlements, COGTA and NT to address water and sanitation service provision • Finalise institutional options for infrastructure management, operations and development • Accelerate the response to acid mine drainage to ensure that the Vaal River System would simply need to be augmented by the delivery of water from Lesotho Highlands Phase 2 • Accelerate and implement a national water leak detection and prevention programme immediately 8
