• Largest local municipality in SA with a population of 721 000 (Census 2011)

• Unemployment rate = 34.7%

• Water purchases = 93million m3/ annum @ cost of R 536million

• NRW / Water losses = 48%

• Cost recovery <5% in certain areas

• Average consumption = 350 ℓ / c / day

• Should be major contributor to Project 15% in Integrated Vaal River System

Internal Plumbing LeakageInternal Plumbing Leakage

Leak = 720 litres / hour = 518 m3 / month = 6 221m3 / annumPayment to Rand Water = R 2800 / month = R 33 600 / annum

Cost to fix = ± R 100 (flexible hose plus labour)

Lessons learntLessons learnt

Model can be replicated in other areas with necessary political & institutional support

Performance must be measured against a baseline

Savings not always realised in “cash-

strapped” municipal environment

Difficult to plan without a defined budget

Short term solution – municipality has long

term solution with Smart Metering
