DWAF understanding of Buckets
• Priority given to buckets prior to 1994- first target
• Buckets supplied by the municipality• Municipality serviced the buckets• In formalised or established settlements or
formal townships.• Informal areas to be done later -2010 sanitation
target.
Strategic Role of the GP Municipalities
• Conduct (backlog) studies• Provincial & Municipal Land- – Formal & Informal, Mines,
Farms, Private Property, Agricultural Land & Rezoned land• Ground analysis- community sizes.• Differentiate between municipal buckets provided,
sold/transferred/rental/owner provided buckets & built VIP, • Consult Province - DLG • IDP’s • Business Plans• Funding – Capital, MIG, DWAF, (Private PP & Public PP,
DME)

Statistics

projects• 1523 units-lack of space to constructExpenditure = R37,2 million
General Successesof the projects
• Social acceptance of the system by the community;• An integrated communication strategy, because all the
community stakeholders have come together;• Improved health and hygiene of the community;• Improvement in the lifestyle of the community;• Uplifted the dignity of the community by providing acceptable
and humane sanitation service;• Job creation and skills transferred to the local community and
the economic advancement that took place with the projects;• Averted environmental disaster;• All community households benefited from the project.
New Challenges
• An effective maintenance plan and action is required from the municipality in providing an efficient cleaning service for the new installed sanitation systems;
• Intensifying training of local labourers and contractors to an extent where projects are administered and managed within the community thus creating economic advancement;
• More intensified communication is required from the municipality to inform the community to take responsibility and ownership of the new sanitation system for community’s benefit;
• For the municipality to iron out problems affecting the efficient maintenance and service for the new sanitation system; and
• To speed up the process of relocating people
New Devlopments
• Water and sanitation strategy for Gauteng-Internal • Water conversation and demand management for 5
local municipalities- DWAF/RWB/DLG• Decentralisation of waste water treatment plants for
Gauteng • SAICE/ SAICA support to municipalities
