Backlog Categorisation Service delivery backlogs (people who have never been served); Refurbishment backlogs (sanitation infrastructure that has deteriorated beyond regular maintenance requirements); Extension backlogs (existing infrastructure that needs to be extended to provide the service to New households in the communities) Upgrade needs (infrastructure that does not meet the minimum standards) Operation and Maintenance (O&M) backlogs (infrastructure that has not been properly operated and maintained, but can be adequate if funds are allocated to ensure proper operation and maintenance) Water & Sanitation Master Plan4

Backlog estimated cost. Households without access R13.66bn R36.64bn to address all the infrastructure and Operations and Maintenance related backlogs – Include extension of service to brownfields without access as well as new settlements (and informal settlements) – Includes buckets in formal areas to be eradicated – Includes about buckets in informal areas to be eradicated – Include refurbishment of about 1000 Wastewater Treatment Plants that are not functioning properly Based on the 2011 pricing it is estimated that about R50 billion is needed to address the above sanitation challenges Water & Sanitation Master Plan5

Sanitation Delivery (2009/10 – 2012/13) Department of Human Settlements delivered – 63,118 VIP toilets to homes through RHIG Grant in four years (2009/10 – 2012/13) – VIP toilets to individual homes in four years through its HSDG Grant (2009/10 – 2012/13) Municipalities through MIG funds delivered about 1,2 million VIP toilets in four years Water & Sanitation Master Plan6

SIPP 18 Water and Sanitation Master Plan Water & Sanitation Master Plan7

Scope of Project Provide a country-wide position on the state of sanitation Assess current sanitation backlog, with all permeations Provide a scientific focast on future sanitation needs Provide future Water Supply estimates to support Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Review Institutional capacity to guide Sanitation strategy Development of technical variants for a sustainable operation of sanitation systems (on-site sanitation and water-borne sewer systems) Socio-economic survey (household interviews, survey of focus groups and key informants) 8Water & Sanitation Master Plan

Ultimate aim of the Master Plan The ultimate aim of the Master Plan is to: – Country attain Open Defecation Free (ODF) status, – Promote sustainable hygiene behavior for people’s health improvement, – Promote central, regional, district, municipality cooperation – Institutionalise Village Development Committees (VDC) levels to back up sanitation movement at strategic and operational levels/ local awareness Water & Sanitation Master Plan 9

What Master Plan will entails The Master Plan will include key principal objectives. – Firstly, define realistic design criteria for an integrated sanitation system with special regard to institutional strengths and weaknesses, community preferences as well as environmental considerations – Secondly, identify areas where on-site sanitation proves the most economic and appropriate solution and, – thirdly, develop alternate solutions for on-site sanitation systems or a centralised water-borne sewer system. – Provide for sustainable O&M i.t.o funding, water supply and technical skills requirements Water & Sanitation Master Plan10
