Challenges facing the sector

• Ageing Infrastructure
• Ageing workforce and problems with recruitment of
  Skilled professionals (engineering, scientific
  and technical). Retention and recruitment of
  technical skills leading to reliance on
  consultants
• Water Security and Availability
• BBBEE issues monopoly of adequate construction
  industry to support SMMEs,
• Construction costs increases, e.g. materials,
  SCM, professional staff costs.
• Financial resources for water resources
  infrastructure off budget projects, cost of
  materials thus regulation of water supply costs.
