Delivery Hot Spot Areas in the Free State

• The Free State has challenges of Water Resources
  in the following Municipal areas
• Dihlabeng
• Sterkfontein-Qwaqwa
• Nketoane
• Ngwathe
• Jagersfontien-Fauresmith
• Rouxville-Smithfield
• Tokologo
• As a result, it becomes extremely difficult to
  eradicate buckets with waterborne sanitation.

6
Delivery Hot Spot Areas in the Free State (Cont
)

• Most municipalities have capacity problems with
  their sewer treatment plants, they will require
  upgrading and the province has a short fall of
  R500 million.
• Few existing sewer treatment plants have spare
  capacity.
• Some municipalities are currently not eradicating
  buckets until they have DoRA allocations in the
  new financial year (see slide on current status
  on eradication)

7
Potential Problem Areas in WSAs

• Most municipalities experience shortage of
  technical skills, the department of LGH together
  with DWAF have made available engineers to assist
  with technical supervision at the WSAs.
• A water supply master plan has been developed and
  it should be implemented as soon as funding is
  available
• A decision making tool to guide municipalities
  for the choice of sanitation of technology,
  referred to as the sanitation strategy document,
  has been developed municipalities to adhere to
  it.

8
Potential Problem Areas in WSAs (Cont)

• Enforce implementation role-out plan as
  presented, through continuous monitoring
• Review unit cost to meet current average in FS
• Obtain additional R 566 million to enable the
  eradication of 45 000 units not yet funded
• Ensure that detail action plans, focused on
  sustainability are being implemented

Expenditure Performance To Jan 2007

Budget Constraints

• Current Backlog Jan 2007 ? 88 791
• Buckets eradicated to date Jan 2007 ? 71 209
• Funding required to eradicate current backlog _at_
  R9000/bucket as per Policy 2006 ? R799.1
  million
• Funding required to eradicate current backlog _at_
  an average unit cost in the FS _at_ R12 534/bucket
  ? R1 113 billion
• Funding available currently ? R 679.9 m
• Shortfall ? R 566.1m

11
Provincial Delivery Constraints

• Shortage of funding to eliminate all buckets by
  October 2007
• Ceiling cost per bucket currently of R9000 is not
  adequate vs. the current average cost of R12 534
• Poor attendance by municipal key staff and
  politicians in most meetings
• No proper roll out plans were available at
  municipalities during the bucket eradication
  workshops
• Shortage of water in certain municipalities
• Insufficient capacity on the existing bulk
  infrastructure
• Some LMs are extending their Programmes to
  2008/09

Establish Capacity Constraints

• Most rural municipalities are not able to attract
  the right caliber of skill/expertise they require
• No sufficient monitoring of water services
  delivery at municipal level
• Low expenditure of project implementation
• Lack of capacity in engaging communities in
  service delivery issues
• Lack of capacity at municipal level to facilitate
  revenue collection and credit control
• Lack of technical expertise mostly in Water
  sewer treatment plants, hence water quality
  problems
