INTRODUCTION• The North West covers an area of 116 320 km2. • It has a total population of about 4 million people and it
contributes approximately 6% pf the National GDP. • It is a predominantly rural province with low population
density. • It is faced with huge service delivery backlogs. • It also has a problem of unequal and ‘pocket” development
with large disparities between its urban and rural sections. • Characterized by insufficient bulk infrastructure, thus
impacting on the eradication of the water services backlog. • The province is faced with a sanitation backlog of 437 000
hh• The water backlog stands at 134 000 hh and the cost to
eradicate it is approximately R1 236 mil .

INTRODUCTIONBackground of Water Services ProgrammeBackground of Water Services Programme• 1994 RDP program launched to eradicate Basic services backlog• Constitutional responsibility given to LG for water services and DWAF
to play a technical support and Regulatory role• 2003 Roles and responsibilities for water services consolidated under
MIG• 2003 Strategic Framework on Water Services Approved by cabinet• 2005 Masibambane program launched • 2007 revised target date for universal access to water and sanitation• 2008 Separate program for Regional Bulk Infrastructure launched• 2008 Municipal Indaba held resulting in a detailed plan of action with
responsibilities and time frames

INTRODUCTIONBackground to Water Services in the North WestBackground to Water Services in the North West• 4 District Municipalities and 21 Local
Municipalities• 2 District municipalities and 12local municipalities
are Water Services Authorities• 4 Water Boards and one Section 21 company
provide both bulk and retail services to municipalities
• WSA in the process of finalizing S78 assessments • Largely depended on ground water

Overview of the Department’s Planned Interventions
Functional Area Planned Intervention TimeframeWater Use Province highlighted the need
for the development of a stock watering policy and this resulted in the development of the small scale multiple water use draft policy
Inter Governmental Relations Attend and assist to give clarity on water and sanitation issues in Izimbizos
ongoing
Poverty Alleviation Greater Taung area targeted for War on Poverty campaign in collaboration with the Premiers office

DBSA conducted backlog study and awaits ratification by some MunicipalitiesProvincial Water Master Plan development is in progress
Awaiting municipalities

Awaiting council approval for 6 sanitation acceleration plans
Schools Water and Sanitation Support to Schools backlog eradication- R40mil allocated for 09/10

25
High Level Challenges and Possible Interventions
Challenge InterventionCapacity at municipalities- High staff turnover of s57 managers and thus lack of continuity in planning and implementation
Deployment of technical expertiseAddress s57 appointmentRigorously implement local government support planDeployment model developed and implemented
Non-alignment of targets- Fragmented planning especially between Municipalities and Housing
Strengthen planning support capacity through municipal IDP processes and Newly established Provincial Development Planning Forum
Capacity of municipality to spend
Ability of municipality to generate revenue Assist with implementation of tariff policies
Inadequate O & M budget due to poor asset Management
Strong political drive in the MUNICIPAL INDABA action lists
Equitable Share not adequate esp. rural municipalities
WSP/WSA Functionality-Sect 78 not finalized in Most Municipalities - poor WSP/WSA arrangement
Rigorously implement local government support plan
26
High Level Challenges and Possible Interventions
Challenge InterventionPoor Compliance with NWA/WSA/DORA by WSA, e.g. by laws, tariff etc
Councilor induction, provide generic by-laws
WWTP/WTP NEED major Upgrade and Refurbishment
Secure funding
Bulk Water Needs very high (R9billion) Needs communicated to national office. Enhance technical capacity of region
Shifting target due to population migrating in search of better livelihood
Intensify planning through IDP processes
Captured data is outdated quickly Updating o reference framework document on a yearly basis
The construction industry may not be ready for the demand
Performance Management and regulatory capacity
Regulatory support required from DWA with clear time frames
27
High Level Challenges and Possible Interventions
Challenge RecommendationInadequate allocations to address backlogs MIG Funding increased to meet the current
backlog targetsDeal with quick wins first
Availability of water resources Urgent finalization of Institutional Realignment as it impacts on IWRM implementation
Water conservation and demand management (strain on resources)
Use lessons learnt in Maquassi Hills and Ventersdorp to roll out to other WSAs
Political instability impacts on service delivery especially in NMMDM
Speedy Political interventions were applicable

High Level Challenges and Possible Interventions – Identified Hotspots (NMM DM)
Challenge Intervention
Malfunctioning WWTP in Zeerust Feasibility study is being commissioned by District to develop appropriate action
Water Shortage in Itsoseng 10ML reservoir construction is in progress-R30mil allocated by WSA shortfall R30mil
Water Crisis in Dinokana Geo Hydrological investigation is underway, coupled with tech report and design to augment current supply(R16 mil) and shortfall is R44milTo curb illegal connections intermediary service level will be provided to households (long term)
Tswaing/Sannieshof –Inappropriate WWTP Current budget is R2mil need R58mil to address infrastructure defects but will use a phased approach
31
High Level Challenges and Possible Interventions – Identified Hotspots (DRM DM)
Challenge InterventionWater shortage in Vryburg Pipeline from Pudumoeng has been
completedFeasibility study to use Taung dam is in progress (R10mil)BIG allocation will be used for WPP upgrading in Pudumoeng (R10mil allocated)
WWTP dysfunctional in Vryburg MIG budget to be used for upgradingIntervention plan developed by Municipality to address infrastructure defects both short & long term
Water quality challenges in the Taung villages Utilize Taung dam to supply communities R10m
32
High Level Challenges and Possible Interventions – Identified Hotspots (Bojanala DM)
Challenge InterventionMoretele is in arrears for bulk water supply by City of Tshwane to the value of R44mil (Apr09)
DCG&TA with DWA in the process of resolving the issue. Bulk water supply feasibility study (R1mil) is been done to determine possible use of Klipvoordam water
Madibeng is in arrears of R55mil with COT DPLG and DWAF is in process of negotiating repayment deal, feasibility study is been done to determine the use of Hartbeespoort dam for water useR10 million has been allocated by DWAF to upgrade the WPP
Increased water demand in the Rustenburg and the mines
Feasibility study to be commissioned
Kgetleng is cash strapped due to poor revenue capacity and base
DBSA has deployed an engineer to provide technical support and Bojanala provides hands on support to the MunicipalityEquitable share to be increased to address infrastructure backlogsDWA assisting with bulk infrastructure planning

High Level Challenges and Possible Interventions – Identified Hotspots (DKK DM)
Challenge InterventionVentersdorp experiences water shortage in Appel draai village
Boreholes drilled to augment current supplyR1 mil has been allocated from BIG budget for bulk water feasibility study
