PRESENTATION ON WATER SERVICES BACKLOGS Municipal Manager 4 May 2007
Outline • Background • Locality Map • Backlog Figures • Budget Requirements • Bucket Eradication Projects • Funding Required For Buckets • Challenges
Background • 8 municipalities in 37 294 km2 • Population = 810 214 = 12.4% of Provincial population • 3rd Largest DM in the EC • Mostly rural and youthful
Bucket Eradication Projects • 6976 Buckets in total • 1120 Buckets already eradicated (06/07) • 5856 Buckets still to be eradicated • 11 Projects for buckets • 3 projects completed • 5 projects under construction • 3 projects at planning stage
Funding Required For Buckets • Total required for buckets R150m. • Funds already available R77m. [MIG (R45m), DHLGTA (R12m), Equitable Share R10m and DBSA Loan R10m] • Funds still required R73m
Challenges • More funding required to meet water and sanitation backlogs • Figures do not include dilapidated infrastructure and bulk for augmentation especially Karoo towns • Creating a balance between basic infrastructure and LED • High costs per capita due to scattered villages • Sustainability of VIPs • Communities want water borne to replace buckets • If R73m is ring-fenced from R207million then committed projects would be delayed and costly • Non-performing service providers • Few contractors with high ratings with respect to CIDB • Retention of skilled personnel (engineers) • Implementation of the Supply Chain Management Regulations
THE END • THANK YOU !!!!!
