5856 Buckets still to be eradicated
11 Projects for buckets
3 projects completed
5 projects under construction

8. Bucket Eradication

9. 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

10. 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
