• Approximately 80.13% of the households in the Northern Cape either have access to piped water supply in their dwellings or in their yard.

The remaining 19.87% (other in the table to follow) are reliant on other water sources including standpipes, springs, boreholes, etc.

• Households not directly connected either via house or yard connections can be upgraded to house or yard connections via the Water Services Infrastructure Grant (WSIG) or the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG).
• Before upgrading can be considered, the local municipality in question must ensure that sufficient bulk water supply and infrastructure is available.

• Additional bulk is funded via WSIG, MIG or the Regional Bulk Infrastructure Grant (RBIG).
4 Northern Cape Households Access to Water (continued) ACCESS TO WATER (DWS NIWIS, 2022) 5 Northern Cape Households Access to Water (continued) 6 Northern Cape Households Access to Sanitation • The National Integrated Water Information System (NIWIS) distinguishes between the provision of the following sanitation services: – Flush Sewerage Systems, which is the flushing of sewerage to treatment works via reticulation – Flush Septic Tanks, which is waterborne to a storage tank, which must be emptied via honeysucker by the local municipality.
– Pit latrines with ventilation, which is a dry, ventilated sanitation system, which must be maintained by the household.

– Pit latrines without ventilation, which is a dry, unventilated sanitation system, which must also be maintained by the household.

– Chemical Toilet, which is a dry system that separates solid and liquid waste and treats waste using chemical means.

– Buckets which is a temporary, dry collection mechanism that must be continually collected by the municipality.
• Pit latrines without ventilation, Buckets and no sanitation services at all, is classified as a backlog.

7 Northern Cape Households Access to Sanitation (continued) • • 68.6% of households have access to a flush toilet connected to the sewerage system.

3.9% of households do not have access to sanitation, therefore implying open defecation.

• The remaining 27.5% utilise some form of on-site sanitation system including pit latrines with ventilation (i.e.
VIPs) (11%), chemical toilets (2.3%), pit latrines without ventilation (5.1%), septic tanks (5.9%) and bucket latrines (3.1%).

• Municipalities must elect to deploy a suitable sanitation system dependant on the availability of bulk water and sanitation infrastructure, as well as internal reticulation.

• Upgrading of services can be accessed via the Water Services Infrastructure Grant (WSIG), the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) and, the Regional Bulk Infrastructure Grant (RBIG).
8 Northern Cape Households Access to Sanitation (continued) • The National Sanitation Framework (NSF) should also be taken into account as it constitutes an implementation framework that will guide sanitation project implementation in all settlements.
• The framework will amongst other things – provide guidance on appropriate solutions for different spatial patterns (solution for dense urban areas vs sparsely populated areas) – indicate that in principle all densely and highly populated areas should be provided with sewered waterborne sanitation.

– Indicate different forms of on-site sanitation which should be used in sparsely populated areas.

11 BUCKET ERADICATION PROGRAMME 17.5 Observations and Findings: (page 157 of report) • Delegates noted the continued use of bucket system and expressed the need to remedy this matter.
12 BEP BACKGROUND • • In 2012, the Department of Human Settlements, established the Bucket Eradication Programme (BEP) as part of an overall fact- finding mission to determine the state of sanitation in South Africa – In so doing, the task team identified communities in some provinces still the to be using the bucket system hence the initiation of programme to eliminate all bucket toilets in formal areas in the country; In the Northern Cape Province, the programme is at its final stage with exception of the Campbell 596 buckets project.

There are no direct controls on the expenditure of 5B grant funding.

Funding is transferred on a quarterly advance and the IA’s must account prior to the next tranche is released.

The only measure of control for DWS is withholding of funds and ultimately stopping of funds to non-performing IA’s 2.

The procurement delays experience by IA’s on 6B grant funding is similar to DWS experience.

Procurement is a lengthy process that can vary between 6 month to 12 months.

3.
3.

Contract administration within DWS is a lengthy process with MoU taking up to 6 months to be drafted, circulated to all directorates involved, vetted and signed.

Namakwa MoU took 12 months for DWS finalisation and is currently with Bloem Water for consideration.

23 WATER RECONCILIATION STRATEGIES ACCESS TO WATER (DWS NIWIS, 2022) Currently approximately 80.13% of the households in the Northern Cape either have access to piped water supply in their dwellings or in their yard.
The remaining 19.87% are reliant on other water sources including standpipes, springs, boreholes, etc.

DWS COMPLETED WATER RECONCILIATION STRATEGIES FOR 91 VILLAGES (CLUSTER OF VILLAGES) IN THE NC IN 2011 AND UPDATED IT IN 2016.

The study determined the current and future demand for each town and water supply system, evaluated the resource availability, abstraction capacity, water treatment works capacity as well as the reticulation systems and reservoir capacities.
The strategies provide direction on options for sources of water supply and development of implementation strategies.

Summaries of these supply systems indicated whether a water resource or infrastructure intervention is required in the short (five years), medium (ten years) or long term.

Thirty three percent (33%) of the supply systems studied are out of balance i.e.

the available supplies are not able to meet the demands.
Eighteen percent (18%) of these systems requires immediate intervention since the towns are already experiencing a water supply deficit.

The RBIG projects show good alignment with these strategies and projects have been prioritised for systems requiring interventions.

To date the following has been achieved: ➢ Scope of work was finalized in March 2023.

➢ An action plan with timelines were completed in March 2023 ➢ Letters to municipalities to appoint MISA as consultants was issued However, the process is experiencing a difficulty due to lack of cooperation and availability of incremental compliance authorization process.

• Failures occur at WWTW and pumpstations due to noncompliance to systems, blockages, pumps, electrical and human with spillages and discharges of raw or partially treated effluent into yards, streets and the environment.
• These discharges are unlawful and pollution with risk to health and environment and DWS issue notices and directives that require municipalities to stop, rectify and rehabilitate these incidents within days or weeks.

• When municipalities do not stop, rectify and rehabilitate as required DWS can execute works and reclaim costs or make criminal and civil cases against the polluters.

Discussion What is Premier Zamani Saul, doing to address the collapsing bulk sewage network which has caused a sewage lake to form outside Kimberley, and which he said will require R5 billion to overhaul the network.

What is the Department of Water and Sanitation doing with to address the Sol Plaatje ageing and collapsing bulk sewage network?
Are there plans in place and time-frames to address the challenges which has subsequently led to the closing of the R31, 10 km from Kimberley.

57 Level of Services • There has been improvement in the delivery of services between 2015 and 2022.

Piped water and flush toilets are available to more than 90% of households.

The number of households with a pit latrine or bucket system has decreased substantially since 2015.

• Water is abstracted and treated at the Riverton water treatment works (design capacity of 168 Ml/d) on the banks of the Vaal River some 20km north of Kimberley.

Sol Plaatje abstract 28 000 000 kℓ/annum (76,7 Ml/day).
A latest conditional assessment showed that the design capacity is sufficient, but most of the WTW components (inlet works, chlorine system, high lift pump stations, clear water tanks, valves, sludge handling facilities, supernatant recovery, and access, drainage, and fencing infrastructure) need urgent repairs in order to optimize the performance of the plant.

• • The water consumption in Kimberley currently varies between 90 Ml/day in the winter months to 108 Ml/day in the summer months.
The current NRW (Non-Revenue Water) is reported as follows: • Kimberley NRW 63.3% (59.11 Ml/day) and 48.5% (45.3 Ml/day) real losses • Richie NRW: 89.4% (3.21 Ml/day) and 70.6% (2.54 Ml/day) real losses • Total for Sol Plaatje: NRW 64.3% (60.49 Ml/day) and 49.32% (47.79 Ml/day) real losses 59 Existing Sanitation Infrastructure • Kimberley is currently served by two sewage treatment plants, – Homevale situated North – Beaconsfield Southeast of Kimberley with a capacity of 7Ml The Beaconsfield plant is operating about capacity accepting a 12Ml/day.
The Homevale WWTW which was constructed in 1977 with a capacity of 48Ml/day, on average accepting between 32 Ml/day.

Ideally the Homevale WWTW accepts approximately 80% of Kimberley’s sewage, of this 40% naturally drains north-west and is pumped over the watershed towards the plant.

Treated effluent from the Homevale plant discharges into the Kamfers dam (“Flamingo Pan”).

The Ritchie system has a WWTW with a capacity of 3.2 Ml/day.

Operational and compliance monitoring at all 3 WWTW is not satisfactory.

62 Regulatory and Compliance • Routine inspections and interactions done by DWS with Sol Plaatje Municipality indicated poor operation and maintenance of both water and sanitation infrastructure leading to sewage spillages, water leaks and water interruptions.
• • Investigations were conducted by DWS in which it was observed that the spillages of wastewater from the overflowing sewer network and pump stations were ponding inside the Kamfersdam and Platfontein pans.

A Notice of Intention was issued by DWS in August 2015 followed by Directives issued in February 2016, September 2016, January 2018, December 2018.
• Representations were received by DWS from the municipality for some of the issued Directives in which the municipality indicated that they are having financial challenges to address the problems identified.

DWS scheduled meetings on 31 October 2018; 31 January 2019; 26 February 2019 and 30 August 2019 where action plans were discussed.

• Two (2) Directives dated 21 February 2022 and 05 July 2022 have since been issued following the continued non-compliances observed on-site.
63 Homevale WWTW WUL audit Nov 2021 WATER AND SANITATION CHALLENGES IN SOL PLAATJE 1.

Poor governance and management at the municipality – Poor operation and maintenance of infrastructure – Lack of appropriate skills at all levels in the municipality – Weak billing and revenue collection resulting in inadequate budget for operation and maintenance 2.

Inadequate and dilapidated bulk water infrastructure 3.

Dilapidated sewer collector infrastructure 4.

Theft and vandalism of critical infrastructure 5.


In-migration into the municipality which leads to increased water services demand 6.
Blockages of sewer systems caused by citizens disposing foreign objects into the sewer systems 65 65 RESULTS OF INTERVENTIONS IMPLEMENTED TO REDUCE SPILLAGES AND LEAKS TO PLATFONTEIN PANS • Gogga pumpstation inflow repairs have reduced the spill volume by 10 Ml/d • Measurements have indicated significant decline to the inflow in the water course towards the Platfontein pans.
The decline is from 94l/s (8.1Ml/d) to 22 l/s (1.9Ml/d) • There is up to 1 m water level decline in the Platfontein pans and the water is more than 2 m below the R31 road surface which has significantly level reduced the risk to the road • The excess flow towards Platfontein is now directed towards Kamfersdam pan and Vaal River.

• Annually, the municipality conducts leak repairs of main supply pipeline from Riverton to Newton reservoir, this has reduced the water loss estimated to 40 Ml/d.
66 66 SOL PLAATJE BFI INTEGRATED BULK WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM INTERVENTION • Sol Plaatje Municipality (SPM) submitted an application to the National Department of Treasury for Bulk Funding Infrastructure (BFI) in 2021, with the aim of addressing the much-needed upgrades to its ageing water supply infrastructure, more importantly, the Water Treatment Plant and the ever-leaking bulk supply pipeline.
• The submission and application for funding met most of the appraisal requirements and the programme was thus recommended for funding by National Treasury through the RBIG programme.

A total of R2.5 billion was applied for through the BFI and was conditionally approved for funding: – R1.152 billion over the 2023 MTEF: • R86 million in 2023/24, • R492 million in 2024/25 • R574 million in 2025/26 respectively and the remaining R1.3 billion in the outer years.
• According to the Municipality’s project programme, the design will be ready September 2023 and contractor will be on-site as at February 2024.

67 SOL PLAATJE BFI INTEGRATED BULK WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM INTERVENTION • • The DWS supports the investment in the water infrastructure of Sol Plaatje Municipality.

It will bring significant improvement in the water provision mandate of the Municipality, not only in terms of renewed infrastructure but also water quality and supply security.
• However, the commitment of budgeting of O&M funds by the municipality after the completion of the project is still a great concern.

• Furthermore, the capacity which includes proper procurement still need to be investigated before commencement of the project.
68 SOL PLAATJE PERFORMANCE ON CAPITAL PROJECTS • National Treasury stopped transfers amounting to R5 million and R18 million from the Sol Plaatje 2022/23 WSIG and Integrated National Electrification Programme (INEP) allocations of R19.9 million and R40 million respectively in terms of section 18 of the 2022 DoRA.

• The funding was not cash backed, resulting in the services providers (consulting engineer and contractor) terminating the contracts on the WSIG project.
• National Treasury during the 2021/22 financial year assessment determined that an amount R6.4 million was unspent and should be repaid to National Revenue Fund (NRF), the amount was in respect of the Infrastructure Skills Development Grant (ISDG) amounting to R599 thousand, INEP R1 million and the WSIG R4.9 million.

• The reason to repay the ISDG and INEP was as a result of a rollover request which was not approved, while for WSIG related to non-expenditure as per AFS.
69 SOL PLAATJE AS IMPLEMENTING AGENT ON WSIG PROJECTS • The Carters ridge sewer pumpstation and outfall sewer line project is currently abandoned and DWS is in process of terminating the Implementing agent agreement with Sol Plaatje.

• The project management by Sol Plaatje on the past three (3) WSIG funded project were not to an expectable standard, with time and cost overrun on all projects and variations approved by the Sol Plaatje Municipality without DWS approval and without adequate funding secured.
• Written commitments by the municipality regarding the return of the contractor and consultant to site has not materialized, with no works on site and open trenching.

• • A Site inspection was conducted on 17 July 2023.

The letter of intention to terminate the Implementing Agent Agreement with the municipality was delivered to the municipality on 18 July 2023.

• No response has been received from the municipality on this letter to date.
70 RECOMMENDATIONS • The CoGHSTA to support the municipality with short- and medium-term plans • The municipality must consider the use of Implementing agents to improve on project management • The municipality to ensure compliance to Blue/ No/ Green drop requirements.
• Municipality to update their Water Services Development Plan (WSDP) and Masterplan 71 VAAL GAMAGARA REGIONAL BULK WATER PROJECT PHASE 2 72 BACKGROUND • The Vaal Gamagara Bulk Wate Supply refurbishment and upgrade project was conceptualized as a public-private collaboration with two phases, with joint funding by the government and the mining forum.

• Phase 1 entailed the upgrade of 80km of gravity pipeline between Roscoe and Blackrock and was completed June 2022.
• Vaal Gamagara Bulk supply Scheme assets are transferred to Bloem Water from Sedibeng Water Board.

• Phase 2 of the project is required to start with a 44% contribution by government and 56% from the private sector, as negotiated with the Northern Cape Mining Leadership Forum (MLF) • The project consists of three key interventions: 1.

Planning and Emergency/Short Term Interventions – DWS construction funded by ASSMANG 2.

Phase 1 completed R1,4 billion 3.


Phase 2 entails (260km of pipeline) 73 PROGRESS • • • The initial plan was for Phase 2 to be implemented by means of an Off-take Agreement over 25 years, but this could not be successfully negotiated due to smaller mines not being able to commit to the repayment period (25 years).
Individual member mines then agreed with Sedibeng to have a capital raising fund administered where the water board would raise 56% from the mines and 44% to be funded by Government (for the social component).

In addition a special purpose vehicle (in terms of a Section 21 company) was to be created to implement the project at a more efficient level.
There was a breakdown in the implementation of the agreement due to non-implementation by Sedibeng Water and the mining forum requested that the agreement also be signed by DWS; this was agreed to by DWS in August 2021.

• Ministerial intervention was sought by the Mining Leadership Forum to ensure that the Department commit to a public-private collaboration regarding the implementation of Phase 2.

• A MOU between DWS, DBSA, Bloem Water and MLF was vetted by DWS legal.
• BFI application for the 44% public sector funding contribution was submitted to the Infrastructure Fund.

• The total CAPEX modelled is estimated to be roughly R8,108 billion (excluding VAT) 74 Vaal Gamagara Phase 3 75 Background and status • Minister, Mr Senzo Mchunu gave a directive for the region to explore alternative water resource other than groundwater of proving water to the John Taolo Gaetsewe Dstrict Municipality.
The Provincial office therefore has to conduct a feasibility study to determine the possibility of extending Vaal Gamagara Bulk pipeline to Joe Morolong and Ga- Segonyana municipalities.

The department is in process to appoint a consultant to develop the following studies: • • • • Conduct a detailed conditional assessment of the existing Vaal-Gamagara BWS pipeline to determine the upgrade requirements to expand the Vaal-Gamagara pipeline into Ga- Segonyana and Joe Morolong.
Investigate the current bulk water and sanitation infrastructure and demand in Joe Morolong and Ga-Segonyana.

Investigate the future bulk water and sanitation infrastructure demand for all settlements in Ga- Segonyana and Joe Morolong, which include bulk water and sewer lines, reservoirs, pump stations, wastewater treatment works etc.

The goal is to determine the total infrastructure requirement to provide all residents with erf water connections and waterborne sanitation.
This should be done with consultation with affected stakeholders like Bloemwater, Human Settlement, Environmental Affairs, Education, Health, Eskom, Public Works, Water User Associations and the municipalities (Local and District) including other related stakeholders.

76 77 GAMAGARA - Olifantshoek water challenges 78 • The population of the town and water use has triple the last 10 year.

The bulk supply infrastructure was not designed for this expansion.
• The main source of water for Olifantshoek is from the Vaal-Gamagara bulk water pipeline.

The exploration and equipping of boreholes was recommended to ease the water shortages encountered by the Olifantshoek communities, where water supply from Bloemwater is intermittent and not regular and communities are left without water from time to time.

• The municipality has registered the Groundwater supply in Olifantshoek project with DWS.
The main scope are the siting, drilling, testing and equipping of boreholes, the construction of pumping main pipeline and the construction of pump houses.

Total project cost is R 8 626 973.04 • The overall project progress in 40% and the estimated project completion is October 2023.
79 Dawid Kruiper: Water challenges 35.4 Department of Water and Sanitation: (Page 173 of report) • The Department should furnish the NCOP with a report on the steps undertaken to restore water to the 25000 families without water.

This should be attended to with immediate effect and the report should be furnished to the NCOP within 3 months of adoption of the report 80 Background • The towns of Lambrechtsdrift and Leerkrans is situated 60km outside Upington.
• Major water challenges is currently experienced with the bulk water supply infrastructure within these towns including the outside areas that is supplied by the Abram Holbros WTW within Upington.

• Bulk water shortages is experienced mainly in the summer periods.

The municipality has submitted a business plan for funding which will address these challenges.
81 Refurbishment of Lambrechsdrift, Leerkrans and Abraham Holbors September water treatment plants including the reseal of the joints of central reservoir • The project cost is R 14 836 729.

• The project is still in procurement stage (appointment of contractor) • The scope of work entails: • • Refurbishment of the WTW’s in Leerkrans and Lambrechsdrift, construction of a pipeline to the elevated reservoirs and sealing of the existing raw water reservoirs.
Refurbishment of the Abram Holbros WTW in Upington.

Refurbish the central reservoir and reseal the joints.

• 22 567 households will benefit from the project.
