Key Highlights

•Inyaka Water Treatment Works – Phase 1 Completed in 2008 and Phase 2 was commissioned in September 2008. •Vaal River Eastern Sub-system Augmentation Project (VRESAP) : Industrial for Sasol and Eskom. It cost R2,7 Billion and will supply 160 million cubic meters per annum. Currently using a temporary abstraction works. Final testing of 3 pump sets running simultaneously still outstanding. Commissioning of all projects components to supply water, using the temporary abstraction works, successfully completed except the final testing of three pumps running together•Berg River Water Project – commissioned in September 2008 at a cost of R1,55 Billion, and opened by President in March 2009; it supply 80 million cubic meters per annum to CCT•Rehabilitation and Refurbishment of Dams – 29 Dams are completed, 20 dams are under construction and 9 dams are in the design stage. Total spent on Dam Safety and Rehabilitation Programme (DSRP) till 31 March 2009 is R468 million and an estimate R1,9 billion to be on the programme•Adoption of a Social and Economic Development Charter for promoting BBBEE objectives

Strategic Objective

Output Performance against target for 2008/9Target Actual

Economic growth, social development and poverty eradication

Agency Establishment and Legislation in place

Bill tabled and debated in Parliament;Act Promulgated

Bill is in Parliament, but not tabled because of call for wider consultation

Implementation of the Infrastructure Programme

Nandoni Water Treatment Works – 96%

Target for design was 100%; 99% complete; construction target was 100%; actual 95%.

Vaal River Eastern Sub-system Augmentation Project (VRESAP)

Commissioning of all projects components to supply water, using the temporary abstraction works, successfully completed except the final testing of three pumps running together.

Strategic Objective

Output Performance against target for 2008/9Target Actual



De Hoop-construction of dam access progressed to 32% completion

Overall 12 days behind dam accelerated programme. Target for design 92% achieved 90% Outlet Works: 26% complete. Overall 36% complete

Inyaka Water Treatment Works – 54% complete

Phase 2 commissioned in September 2008.Phases 3 and 4: Design behind (Target 50% and actual 48%) Construction behind because of problems with designs (Target 18 % and actual 8 %). Phase 3 and 4: Construction experienced delays due to strike. Overall 54% completed

Strategic Objective Output

Performance against target for 2008/9

Target Actual



Hluhluwe Regional Water Scheme- 65 % completed

Phase 3: Water treatment plant reservoirs and pipelines (Target 98%, Actual 95%). Serious delays in material delivery due to non-payment of suppliers and non-conformance of pipe items from suppliers. Delays due to environmental go-ahead on pipelines. Hluhluwe Dam was at 36.5% and not recovering as expected, leading to water restrictions. Overall 62% Complete

Nandoni Bulk Distribution – 54% complete

Distribution Network: Pipelines, reservoirs and pump station (Design: Target 71% and Achieved 67%Construction: Target 82% and Achieved 64%). Lack of Professional Technical Human Resources; supplier payment problems because of implementation of SAP. Pipe line testing problematic because of pipe material supplied by external supplier and work on GRP pipes stopped

Challenges facing the sector• Ageing Infrastructure• Ageing workforce and problems with recruitment of Skilled

professionals (engineering, scientific and technical). Retention and recruitment of technical skills – leading to reliance on consultants

• Water Security and Availability• BBBEE issues –monopoly of adequate construction industry to support

SMMEs, • Construction costs increases, e.g. materials, SCM, professional staff

costs.• Financial resources for water resources infrastructure – “off budget”

projects, cost of materials thus regulation of water supply costs.
