The information requested by honourable member is monitored in the national monitoring system as well as the national information system provided for by the National Water Act, 1998 (Act No. 36 of 1998) and the Water Services Act, 1997 (Act No. 108 of 1997) respectively. DWS is responsible for these national systems as mandated by both pieces of legislation highlighted in the background above.
It is therefore recommended that the honourable member redirect the question to Ministry of Water and Sanitation for the DWS to respond accordingly.
