Key Strategic Issues • • Capital Expenditure over next 5 years The CPIX dilemma Water pricing and affordability Municipal capacity Skills shortages Bulk Contracts Water Usage and Water Savings – keeping water affordable

Water Losses • • Gauteng – R 3, 14 m / day (R 94, 2 m/month) Unaccounted for water: • • • Inefficient use Wastage Theft Leaks At municipal level – between 15% and 50%

Price of Water • Water Value Chain (2005/06): • • • Raw Water (5, 7%) - DWAF Bulk Water (5, 3%) – Rand Water Retail Water (? %) – Municipalities Challenge: to make water affordable to end communities Effective regulation across the value chain is needed

ERADICATING WATER AND SANITATION BACKLOG IN RAND WATER AREA OF SERVICE

TOWARDS ACHIEVING THE MDG’S • R/W has embarked on a programme with the following objectives: • Understanding the inadequacy of water service provision in and around our AOS • Growth projections- population and demand • Assessment of current capacity

HOW? Our strategy is three pronged: Addressing backlogs in water and sanitation in our AOS and beyond Delivery in water and sanitation working with DWAF to capacitate municipalities in improving service Delivery in water and sanitation working directly with Municipalities

PREVIOUS INTERVENTIONS • Reduction of unaccounted for water • Odi from 48% - 29% • Harrismith from- 23%- 18% • Tshwane - R 34 million • Madibeng - R 2 m • Emfuleni- R 12 m

PREVIOUS INTERVENTIONS • Increase access to water • Odi from 29 000 to 65 000 households • Mabopane & Garankuwa from 66% 80% • Harrismith from 71% to 77% Reduce unpaid for water volumes • Odi informal villages from 42 kl to 12 kl • Urban areas from 36 kl to 17 kl

(2004/05) INTERVENTIONS Increased participation and efforts to expand water supply to areas of need: The beneficiaries were • Sasol R 40 million pipeline project implemented and managed by Rand Water • Bushbuckridge - 100 000 people now access water within 200 m of walking distance.

ACCESS TO WATER • Western Highveld region scheme continued - A R 110 m project with R 40 m contribution from Rand Water • Beneficiaries - 510 000 people from 77 000 households in: Kungiwini, Thembisile and Nokeng tsa Taemane

SANITATION Total spend for 2004/05 was R 10, 6 million Winterveldt 518 toilets built (2989 since 2003) Hygiene workshops with 4 333 attendees Bekkersdal Hygiene workshops with 2400 attendees

SANITATION Harrismith • A total of 138 buckets were removed and replaced with a full water borne system at R 264 000. 00 • Water meters, supplied by Amanziwethu, were installed in 18 homes

LEAKS REPAIRS • Repaired leaking pipes and toilets for 1 845 families in Tshwane (Mamelodi and Eersterust) • R 1, 6 million spend created temporary employment for 62 locals • Accredited training for 32 locals on plumbing

REALITIES ON THE GROUND • Whilst these programmes are still being implemented, reality on the ground reveals the following: • 1 million people close to our AOS with no adequate access to water and sanitation. • Delmas- 50 000 • WHR – 350 000 • Balfour District – 35 000 • Eastern Free State- 40 000

CHALLENGES Despite expertise and capacity at R/W • Municipalities do not take advantage of the provision to appoint organs of state (like R/W) to assist them to improve service delivery Legislative framework • Conferring the status of Water Services Authorities on Municipalities

CHALLENGES FUNDING IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE • In absence of adequate funding the net results are: • cost of water become excessive and unaffordable • Need to address proper sanitation will be left neglected • Uprisings and protests seen currently • South Africa’s MGD’s wont be met

WAYFOWARD PARTNERSHIP IS THE KEY. Rand water’s role Rand Water has sufficient capacity and expertise to : • meet the need and address the challenges both in infrastructure and water quality issues • extend its services beyond its AOS

WAYFOWARD Government’s role To release funding- estimated at R 900 million is needed to address the backlog Local government role (Municipalities) Take advantage of policies allowing them to utilise state own entities and tap into Rand Water’s skills and capacity

CONCLUSION Our aspiration to be the leader in the water industry encourages us to keep striving for continuous improvement
