The Asset planning division together with the assistance of operations have assessed the immediate infrastructure needs for the area of operation. Demand is currently only partially being met from a number of abstraction and treatment plants as most plants suffer from a lack of maintenance. In order to bring current plants up to design capacity and reliability, renewal projects are recommended at several of the plants to provide standby capacity, improving operational control for both water quantity and quality purposes. This is the immediate focus of the capital expenditure program. The following projects have been identified: Acornhoek Water treatment plant – Refurbishment of the water treatment system.
Thulamhashe water treatment plant – Automation and addition of redundancy on the
Hoxane water treatment plant – Automation and addition of redundancy on the coagulant dosing system. This will include various other aspects
realting to the improvement of water treatment
Meeting further demand, current and future, will require augmentation of both treatment and bulk pipeline capacity. This is considered as the second phase of the program although some augmentation of infrastructure is expected to be invested in the initial stages. This is expected to increase as condition assessments of the infrastructure are completed in the upcoming year. The following projects have been identified:
Additional Hoxane raw water pump station and connecting pipeline
Additional Hoxane purification and pumping station. Hoxane to Ndonga pipeline (800/700diameter)
20Ml reservoir at Ndonga Pipeline Ndonga to Cunningmore (800/700diameter)
An interim cash flow projection over the five year period is estimated at R600m.

The current contract does not even cover the cost of running the plant.There is current and increasing debt. In the last session in January 2017, Mbombela agreed to take to council the settlement agreement on the accumulated debt. However, given the past, there is little chance of success.Therefore Rand Water’s success in this area is limited.Slide6

Description

DWS Response

Identification
of assets for takeover
Bushbuckridge Scheme
There was transfer of regional bulk assets to
the
Botshabelo District Municipality in 2009. This was disestablished and the assets transferred to Bushbuckridge.
The IRR Masterplan identifies the Bushbuckridge scheme for transfer to the regional water utility (Rand Water).
The critical matter remains outstanding.
The new councilors of BBR are of the opinion that the municipality should continue with ownership.
Therefore Rand Water’s operations will not be viable.2Identification of assets for takeoverWestern Highveld SchemeThe IRR Masterplan identifies the Western Highveld scheme for transfer to the regional water utility (Rand Water). However this matter remains outstanding.3Funding PlanBushbuckridge and Western Highveld SchemesThe recommendation of work done by consultants on behalf of DWS is silent on the required funding. 4Resistance by local municipalitiesBushbuckridge Local Municipality There is increasing uncertainty in the relationship with Bushbuckridge Local Municipality. Rand Water received communication in January 2017, that council resolved to take over all projects that Rand Water has been undertaking9Slide10
