3 Introduction Accelerated Community Infrastructure Programme – Rapid intervention programme to accelerate the achievement of universal access to water and sanitation services by 2014 with a focus on 3 areas Community infrastructure Water conservation and demand management Waste water infrastructure and refurbishment – Drought Intervention: Eastern Cape – Budget R500 million over two financial years

4 Budget 2009/10 to 2011/12 The initial budget for the 2009/10 financial year was expected to be R500 million, however the budget for the project is being made available over two financial years: 2009/10: R240 million; and 2010/11: R260 million. Projects are being scheduled in such a way that all expenditure will take place during the 2009/10 Municipal Financial year. Therefore funds set aside by DWA will be expended by 30 June 2010.

5 Community Infrastructure Water and Sanitation projects selected and ranked on the basis of Exposure to the impacts of cholera; high water services backlogs (typically where between 50% and 100% of households were not served); Evidence presented where the current budgets would not allow for the eradication of backlogs by 2014; and Projects with special needs. Budget allocation: Water Supply (14 projects): R100 million Household Sanitation (13 Projects): R100 million

6 Water Conservation and Demand Management (WC/WDM) The following criteria was used to identify possible projects: Funds to be utilised to leverage additional funds from the beneficiary Metros; Projects should have high impact and substantial water savings should be achieved; Areas must already be identified as water stressed catchments; Higher levels of water security to support expected economic growth by increasing water use efficiency; An increase in water consumption based on high expected growth rates; Potential for water restrictions; Potential for WC/WDM has been identified or it is the primary option to prevent water shortages and targets have been set; and Capability of Municipalities to immediately implement the projects.

7 Water Conservation and Demand Management (WC/WDM) Budget Allocation (Total Budget R254 million: of which R100 million from DWA and R154 million from Metro’s) Vaal River system, illegal water use: R17 million City of Jo’burg, R110,5 million (R76.5 million from CoJ and R33 million from DWA) Ethekwini, R27.5 million (R10 million from EMC and R17.5 million from DWA) Nelson Mandela Bay, R36.9 million (R21.9 million from NMBM and R15 million from DWA) City of Cape Town, R62.1 Million ( R44.6 million from CCT and R17.5 million from DWA)

8 WC/WDM : Vaal River System Vaal River system, illegal water use project will cover the following main areas: Validation and Verification on the Lower Vaal River (Northern Cape); Validation and Verification on the Middle Vaal River (Free State); Investigations and Legal Support (mostly Gauteng ); Training; Communication of Compliance, Monitoring and Enforcement; Programme Management and Coordination ( NC, FS & Gauteng

9 WC/WDM: City of Jo’Burg City of Jo’burg, R110.5 million Pressure management, Active leakage control; and Repair and retrofitting of water efficient devices at schools, public buildings and households. Potential accumulated water savings: 51.5 Ml/day

10 WC/WDM: eThekwini Metro Council Ethekwini Metro Council, R27.5 million Pressure management; Active leak detection and repairs; Advanced pressure control; Mains replacement; and Improving billing by regularising connections. Potential accumulated water savings: 24 Ml/day:

11 WC/WDM: Nelson Mandela Bay Metro Nelson Mandela Bay, R21.9 million Residential, commercial and industrial metering replacement; Sector Billing and zone management; Pressure management; and Retrofitting of water inefficient devices. Potential accumulated water savings: 20.4 Ml/day:

12 WC/WDM: City of Cape Town City of Cape Town, R62.1 million Integrated water leak detection (reduction of leaks on private properties); Pressure management (reducing pressure in pipelines to reduce bulk infrastructure leaks and pipe bursts); Electronic monitoring of network to actively manage the water network; and Re-use of treated sewage effluent (off-setting the use of potable water by further treatment and distribution of treated effluent to end users). Potential accumulated water savings: 51.5 Ml/day:

13 Refurbishment of Waste Water Treatment Works The following criteria was used to identify projects: Cholera risk areas; Facilities exceeding the effluent quality limits; Failures exceeding the maximum hydraulic capacity; Non-compliance with minimum skill requirements; High profile areas prone to spillages; Significant threats to Public Health; and Mechanical failures. Budget Allocation R195 million (20 projects)

14 Drought Intervention: Eastern Cape Following Minister’s Eastern Cape Provincial Water Indaba a number of additional projects were identified, needing urgent intervention. Funds reserved from Programme management and Contingencies were re-allocated for the following projects: 1050 Rain Water Tanks in 6 DM’s: R5 million 40 Rain Water Tanks in Adelaide: R0,2 million Ground water exploration in Amatola DM: R2 million. Budget Allocation R7.2 million
