Bucket Eradication Projects 6976 Buckets in total 1120 Buckets already eradicated (06/07) 5856 Buckets still to be eradicated 11 Projects for buckets 3 projects completed 5 projects under construction 3 projects at planning stage

Bucket Eradication

Funding Required For Buckets Total required for buckets R150m. Funds already available R77m. [MIG (R45m), DHLGTA (R12m), Equitable Share R10m and DBSA Loan R10m] Funds still required R73m

Challenges More funding required to meet water and sanitation backlogs Figures do not include dilapidated infrastructure and bulk for augmentation especially Karoo towns Creating a balance between basic infrastructure and LED High costs per capita due to scattered villages Sustainability of VIPs Communities want water borne to replace buckets If R73m is ring-fenced from R207million then committed projects would be delayed and costly Non-performing service providers Few contractors with high ratings with respect to CIDB Retention of skilled personnel (engineers) Implementation of the Supply Chain Management Regulations
