CHALLENGES FACED BY LOCAL
GOVERNMENT Spillages onto the river systems
Competing demands for water – domestic, environmental and industrial
Water and wastewater treatment
Meeting National drinking water quality standard – SANS 241
National wastewater discharge quality standard – DWAF General Authorisation (General Wastewater Limits)
10
CHALLENGES FACED BY LOCAL
GOVERNMENT WSAs often not aware of necessary
requirement to set up an effective Drinking Water Quality Management Programme (DWQMP)
Management and monitoring of drinking water and wastewater services often inadequate
Infrastructure is poorly maintained
WSAs may be hindered by institutional capacity problems – insufficient and untrained staff, budgetary constraints

13
CHALLENGES FACED BY LOCAL
GOVERNMENT Several WWTW’s are approaching or have
reached capacity
Housing developments in certain areas are outpacing the ability to provide adequate treatment capacity
Equipment is ageing and some needs to be replaced
Risk of asset stripping through sustained inadequate capital funding
14
CHALLENGES FACED BY LOCAL
GOVERNMENT cont.
Appropriate interventions not in place to deal with poor drinking water quality
Urban (surface water) vs Rural (groundwater)
15
RESOURCES NEEDED MEET DRINKING WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS
Require accredited laboratory facilities
Require appropriately qualified staff
Require appropriate number of staff
Require a supply of laboratory consumables
16
RESOURCES MEET DRINKING WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS
Various sources of funding can be leveraged:
WSA Internal funding
SMIF funding
Masibambane
CBG
Equitable share
Donor funding
17
HOW TO IMPROVE ACCEPTABLE DRINKING WATER QUALITY?
Commitment to drinking water quality management and multi-stakeholder involvement
System analysis and management
Support programmes (Awareness and training; Community involvement and awareness; and documentation and reporting)
Review and audit (data evaluation and drinking water quality audits)
18
PRACTICAL PROGRAMMES
Free State Dept. of Local Govt. & Housing programme:
Run by CSIR
Water and treated wastewater sampling and analysis monthly
Enables identification of problems and highlights service delivery improvements

RECOMMENDATIONS
SHORT-TERM:
Metros to assist the WSAs in WQM
Waste Water Management
Training of operators at Water and Treatment works level
Highlight the lack of funding in drinking water quality with the premiers Office
Awareness creation and communication of responsibilities for urgent cases
22
RECOMMENDATIONS
MEDIUM-TERM:
Implementation of drinking water situational assessments
Initiation of provincial drinking water quality consultative audits
Conduct an audit of Accredited laboratories in the Country
Private Sector involvement
23
RECOMMENDATIONS
LONGER-TERM:
WSAs undertake drinking water quality compliance monitoring Programmes assisted by DWAF
Benchmarking Process to assess the quality of the data on Drinking Water Quality
Frequency of consultative audits decreases as conformance improves
Where there is still lack of adherence to monitoring requirements, then the DWAF intervenes
