Profile picture: Baker, Ms TE

Baker, Ms TE to ask the Minister of Water and Sanitation

(1)Which municipalities in each province have been identified as (a) high-risk and (b) in crisis, with regard to their waste water treatment capacity; (2) whether any remedial action is currently being taken to address the situation in each of the specified high-risk municipalities; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details for each of the municipalities?

Reply:

(1) Please refer to Annexure A below for the list of prioritised plants.

(2) My Department together with all the Provincial Operations Offices has prioritised these Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTW) and are all under regular surveillance. This entails that municipalities will develop Corrective Action Plans for those plants, which will be monitored regularly by the Provincial Operations Offices. Site inspections are conducted and progress reports developed and submitted on a quarterly basis. Over and above, these WWTW are prioritised from the support side and allocation of funds is availed to mitigate against the risk associated with operation of each of the works.
