supply and basic sanitation.– Sec 3(3) Every water services authority must, in its water

services development plan provide for measures to realise these rights

3Water & Sanitation Master Plan

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 Plan 4

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 88 127 buckets in formal areas to be eradicated– Includes about 30 000 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 Plan 5

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)– 800 000 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

SIPP 18 Water and Sanitation Master Plan

Water & Sanitation Master Plan 7

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 Plan 10

Water and Sanitation value chain

• Potable water supply• Drinking water treatment• Waste Water Disposal• Waste Water Treatment• Waste Water reuse

Water & Sanitation Master Plan 11

Funding Gap R45.5 billion

• Eradication of 80 000 buckets (EC, FS, GP & WC) – R1billion• Eradication of 2.2. million backlog plus un-served R13.5 billion• Bulk Infrastructure requirements for Mater Plan – R31 billion

– 317 WWTPs in under severe strain– 143 WWTPs at high risk– Almost 10 % WWTPs over design capacity– 90 % WWTPs non compliant on more than 3 effluent determinants

13Water & Sanitation Master Plan

Project timeline

• Service Providers secured end December 2013• First Interim report expected March 2014• Draft Master Plan by June 2014• Final Water and Sanitation Master Plan by

August 2014

Water & Sanitation Master Plan 14

Interim strategies

• Eradicating buckets – MIG and USDG– Negotiate 50% MIG exclusively to Water and Sanitation in

line with formula (MTEF 2014/15 – 2016/17)– Negotiate 50% of USDG exclusively to Sanitation (MTEF

2014/15 – 2016/17)• Treatment of WWTPs under strain • Upgrade & Maintenance of WWTPs – RBIG or MWIG• Urban Sanitation – O&M equitable shares• Rural Sanitation – O&M
