A4: NTP – Expenditure 2013/14 • To date we have spent R 37 260 543 at Ekangala WWTW. • 2013/14 budget is R 14 000 000 (schedule 5) • R 10 000 000 has been transferred by now and the remainder will be transferred in the last quarter of our financial year. • Schedule 6 – R 300 000 • Fund are committed for the decommissioning of the Ekangala ponds. Environmental aspects such as EMP & Deregistration of the ponds with DWA will be done by the appointed consultant.
B: Key Challenges • Court order interdicting against the second phase of SRSS implementation • Delays to issue EIA approvals – (MeyertonWWTW upgrade) • Delays to appoint contractors – delayed programme (Westonaria, HVN) • Co-funding – delayed implementation (Westonaria, Zuurbekom) • Political influences – (SRSS, Emfuleni/ Midvaal LM) • Lack of RBIG funding for deteriorating bulk infrastructure in Metros(CoT & CoJ) • Lack of commitment on O&M (Westonaria LM) • Bulk water supply schemes with no Water Utility (Western Highveld Scheme)
B: Key Challenges(ACIP&NT) ACIP PROJECTS • Involvement of councillors in appointment of SMME in the project. • IA submitting the invoices that are not talking to what has been done or report submitted not talking to the invoice. Transfers • Eskom application - The municipality has paid commitment fees but Eskom delaying in giving a way forward with regard to design & quotes for installation of power lines to the plant. • WULA – Mpumalanga office to avail themselves in guiding CoT with the application as the catchment is theirs. • Strikes in Ekangala (Region 7 of CoT) – site was closed for 2 days last month.
D: Project to be “Fast Tracked” • Westonaria Scheme, both Hannes van Niekerk and Zuurbekom : unlock economic activity and service delivery (housing) • SRSS, SebokengWWTW upgrade : relieve the Vaal system of sewage inflows and improve service delivery (Sanitation)
E: Projects to be Launched • Westonaria, Hannes van Niekerk – Fourth quarter of financial year 2013/14) • EkangalaWWTW upgrade – Fourth Quarter of Financial year 2013/14)
F: Way forward • Approval for funding (RBIG) to continue with Phase II, Westonaria Scheme – ZuurbekomWWTW construction • RBIG Policy re-consideration to fund Metro bulk infrastructure – probably more stricter conditions for Metros • MMC Infrastructure (Ekurhuleni Metro) will be meeting the councilors to clear the issues delaying progress on the continuation of WCWDproject.
