As a result, it becomes extremely difficult to eradicate buckets with waterborne sanitation.

6 Delivery Hot Spot Areas in the Free State (Cont …) n Most municipalities have capacity problems with their sewer treatment plants, they will require upgrading and the province has a short fall of R500 million. n Few existing sewer treatment plants have spare capacity. n Some municipalities are currently not eradicating buckets until they have DoRA allocations in the new financial year (see slide on current status on eradication)

7 Potential Problem Areas in WSAs n Most municipalities experience shortage of technical skills, the department of LG&H together with DWAF have made available engineers to assist with technical supervision at the WSAs. n A water supply master plan has been developed and it should be implemented as soon as funding is available n A decision making tool to guide municipalities for the choice of sanitation of technology, referred to as the sanitation strategy document, has been developed & municipalities to adhere to it.

8 Potential Problem Areas in WSAs (Cont…) Enforce implementation role-out plan as presented, through continuous monitoring Enforce implementation role-out plan as presented, through continuous monitoring Review unit cost to meet current average in FS Review unit cost to meet current average in FS Obtain additional R 566 million to enable the eradication of units not yet funded Obtain additional R 566 million to enable the eradication of units not yet funded Ensure that detail action plans, focused on sustainability are being implemented Ensure that detail action plans, focused on sustainability are being implemented
