2.3.1 WATER AND SANITATION PROJECTS
During 2009/10 financial year, the Municipality prepared implementation plans according to the National Key Performance Areas of the five year strategic Local Government Agenda. The strategy for Basic Service Delivery and Infrastructure Development was to reduce the water backlog which is 38,852 households by 6.8% and sanitation which is 30,307 households by 29.4% by 30 June 2010. These projects adhered to EPWP regulations, as 25% of the project value was EPWP compliant. Most of the water and sanitation schemes which were being implemented by the municipality were aimed at laying infrastructural foundation as they are new projects aimed at providing communities with access to water and sanitation. The municipality managed to meet the above mentioned targets for water and sanitation, and the details are as follows:

32,999 households (32%) of 104,534 households would have no access to water by the end of 2010/11 financial year.
Reason for a Variance: Through dedication, hard work and commitment, the municipality went beyond meeting its target to reduce the water backlog though there were challenges relating to limited funding and terrain which also escalates the construction costs. In terms of a strategic approach towards reducing backlogs, the municipality has recently reviewed its Water Services Development Plan (WSDP) which is a long tern plan with a five year implementation programme for water services.
