A4: NTP – Expenditure 2013/14 • To date we have spent R 37 260 543 at Ekangala

WWTW. • 2013/14 budget is R 14 000 000 (schedule 5)

R 10 000 000 has been transferred by now and the remainder will be transferred in the last quarter of our financial year.

• Schedule 6 – R 300 000

Fund are committed for the decommissioning of the Ekangala ponds. Environmental aspects such as EMP & Deregistration of the ponds with DWA will be done by the appointed consultant.

B: Key Challenges• Court order interdicting against the second phase of SRSS implementation • Delays to issue EIA approvals – (Meyerton WWTW upgrade)• Delays to appoint contractors – delayed programme (Westonaria, HVN)• Co-funding – delayed implementation (Westonaria, Zuurbekom)• Political influences – (SRSS, Emfuleni/ Midvaal LM)• Lack of RBIG funding for deteriorating bulk infrastructure in Metros(CoT &

CoJ)• Lack of commitment on O&M (Westonaria LM)• Bulk water supply schemes with no Water Utility (Western Highveld Scheme)

B: Key Challenges(ACIP&NT)

ACIP PROJECTS• Involvement of councillors in appointment of SMME in the

project.• IA submitting the invoices that are not talking to what has

been done or report submitted not talking to the invoice.

Transfers• Eskom application - The municipality has paid commitment

fees but Eskom delaying in giving a way forward with regard to design & quotes for installation of power lines to the plant.

• WULA – Mpumalanga office to avail themselves in guiding CoT with the application as the catchment is theirs.

• Strikes in Ekangala (Region 7 of CoT) – site was closed for 2 days last month.

C: Feedback on letter sent on 9 September 2013

D: Project to be “Fast Tracked”

• Westonaria Scheme, both Hannes van Niekerk and Zuurbekom : unlock economic activity and service delivery (housing)

• SRSS, Sebokeng WWTW upgrade : relieve the Vaal system of sewage inflows and improve service delivery (Sanitation)

E: Projects to be Launched

• Westonaria, Hannes van Niekerk – Fourth quarter of financial year 2013/14)

• Ekangala WWTW upgrade – Fourth Quarter of Financial year 2013/14)

F: Way forward

• Approval for funding (RBIG) to continue with Phase II, Westonaria Scheme – Zuurbekom WWTW construction

• RBIG Policy re-consideration to fund Metro bulk infrastructure – probably more stricter conditions for Metros

• MMC Infrastructure (Ekurhuleni Metro) will be meeting the councilors to clear the issues delaying progress on the continuation of WCWD project.
