DWA OVERVIEW OF THE PLANNED DWA OVERVIEW OF THE PLANNED INTERVENTIONS and CURRENT SUPPORTINTERVENTIONS and CURRENT SUPPORT)
High level challenges Possible intervention
•DWWWM challenges - treatment plants that require refurbishment and others that are beyond their carrying capacity
•Lack of funding – Motheo and Xhariep DM’s RBIG feasibility studies for infrastructure development, Emergency work needed to address Hotspots and drought stricken towns
•Lack of proper planning by WSAs – WSDP, WCWDM, Asset Management Plans, O&M, etc
• Currently funding Mathjabeng,,Moqhaka and Ngwathe Local municipalities with R46 million and the funding is not enough to address the challenges even in the other municipalities
• Requesting for funding to address the challenges regarding Bulk Infrastructure( feasibility and implementation), hotspots and drought stricken towns
•Participation in IDP process, collaboration in terms of planning by sector department , participating in the Provincial Planning commission
41
WAY FORWARDWAY FORWARDThe Department of Water Affairs will focus on the
following broad areas, as a way forward:• Increased collaboration with the provincial
government – Water Sector Forum, AgriForum, Operation Hlasela, SPCD and EID clusters participation, LG5YSA.
• Strengthen the collaboration with the Water Boards through the Salga, Water boards and Department (SWD) Forum meetings
• Strengthen the collaboration with Water User Associations through the Water User Association Forum meetings
• Increased regulation of the water sector (support will be regulatory driven).
