3. Introduction Accelerated Community Infrastructure Programme • Rapid intervention programme to accelerate the achievement of universal access to water and sanitation services by 2014 with a focus on 3 areas • Community infrastructure • Water conservation and demand management • Waste water infrastructure and refurbishment • Drought Intervention: Eastern Cape • Budget R500 million over two financial years

4. Budget 2009/10 to 2011/12 The initial budget for the 2009/10 financial year was expected to be R500 million, however the budget for the project is being made available over two financial years: • 2009/10: R240 million; and • 2010/11: R260 million. Projects are being scheduled in such a way that all expenditure will take place during the 2009/10 Municipal Financial year. Therefore funds set aside by DWA will be expended by 30 June 2010.

5. Community Infrastructure Water and Sanitation projects selected and ranked on the basis of • Exposure to the impacts of cholera; • high water services backlogs (typically where between 50% and 100% of households were not served); • Evidence presented where the current budgets would not allow for the eradication of backlogs by 2014; and • Projects with special needs. Budget allocation: • Water Supply (14 projects): R100 million • Household Sanitation (13 Projects): R100 million

6. Water Conservation and Demand Management (WC/WDM) The following criteria was used to identify possible projects: • Funds to be utilised to leverage additional funds from the beneficiary Metros; • Projects should have high impact and substantial water savings should be achieved; • Areas must already be identified as water stressed catchments; • Higher levels of water security to support expected economic growth by increasing water use efficiency; • An increase in water consumption based on high expected growth rates; • Potential for water restrictions; • Potential for WC/WDM has been identified or it is the primary option to prevent water shortages and targets have been set; and • Capability of Municipalities to immediately implement the projects.

7. Water Conservation and Demand Management (WC/WDM) Budget Allocation (Total Budget R254 million: of which R100 million from DWA and R154 million from Metro’s) • Vaal River system, illegal water use: R17 million • City of Jo’burg, R110,5 million (R76.5 million from CoJ and R33 million from DWA) • Ethekwini, R27.5 million (R10 million from EMC and R17.5 million from DWA) • Nelson Mandela Bay, R36.9 million (R21.9 million from NMBM and R15 million from DWA) • City of Cape Town, R62.1 Million ( R44.6 million from CCT and R17.5 million from DWA)

8. WC/WDM : Vaal River System Vaal River system, illegal water use project will cover the following main areas: • Validation and Verification on the Lower Vaal River (Northern Cape); • Validation and Verification on the Middle Vaal River (Free State); • Investigations and Legal Support (mostly Gauteng ); • Training; • Communication of Compliance, Monitoring and Enforcement; • Programme Management and Coordination ( NC, FS & Gauteng

9. WC/WDM: City of Jo’Burg City of Jo’burg , R110.5 million • Pressure management, • Active leakage control; and • Repair and retrofitting of water efficient devices at schools, public buildings and households. • Potential accumulated water savings: 51.5 Ml/day

10. WC/WDM: eThekwini Metro Council Ethekwini Metro Council, R27.5 million • Pressure management; • Active leak detection and repairs; • Advanced pressure control; • Mains replacement; and • Improving billing by regularising connections. • Potential accumulated water savings: 24 Ml/day:

11. WC/WDM: Nelson Mandela Bay Metro Nelson Mandela Bay, R21.9 million • Residential, commercial and industrial metering replacement; • Sector Billing and zone management; • Pressure management; and • Retrofitting of water inefficient devices. • Potential accumulated water savings: 20.4 Ml/day:

12. WC/WDM: City of Cape Town City of Cape Town, R62.1 million • Integrated water leak detection (reduction of leaks on private properties); • Pressure management (reducing pressure in pipelines to reduce bulk infrastructure leaks and pipe bursts); • Electronic monitoring of network to actively manage the water network; and • Re-use of treated sewage effluent (off-setting the use of potable water by further treatment and distribution of treated effluent to end users). • Potential accumulated water savings: 51.5 Ml/day:

13. Refurbishment of Waste Water Treatment Works The following criteria was used to identify projects: • Cholera risk areas; • Facilities exceeding the effluent quality limits; • Failures exceeding the maximum hydraulic capacity; • Non-compliance with minimum skill requirements; • High profile areas prone to spillages; • Significant threats to Public Health; and • Mechanical failures. Budget Allocation • R195 million (20 projects)

14. Drought Intervention: Eastern Cape Following Minister’s Eastern Cape Provincial Water Indaba a number of additional projects were identified, needing urgent intervention. Funds reserved from Programme management and Contingencies were re-allocated for the following projects: • 1050 Rain Water Tanks in 6 DM’s: R5 million • 40 Rain Water Tanks in Adelaide: R0,2 million • Ground water exploration in Amatola DM: R2 million. Budget Allocation • R7.2 million
