PROJECT 225730 - IMPLEMENTATION READINESS REPORT - WINDSORTON/HOLPAN REGIONAL BULK WATER SUPPLY SCHEME WORLEY- CLIENT REV DESCRIPTION ORIG REVIEW PARSONS DATE DATE APPROVAL APPROVAL Issued for internal review E Deysel F van N/A 2014-10-06 N/A Loggerenberg Page i DIKGATLONG MUNICIPALITY IMPLEMENTATION READINESS REPORT - WINDSORTON/HOLPAN REGIONAL BULK WATER SUPPLY SCHEME EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The primary objective of this report is to illustrate how the proposed upgrading of the Windsorton WTW and the establishment of a bulk water supply line to Holpan meets the prescribed requirements to qualify for RBIG funding. The Dikgatlong Municipality is applying for RBIG funding to co-fund the capital cost associated to the project. The upgrading of the Windsorton WTW and the construction of the bulk water supply pipeline to Holpan is seen as an essential service that the Dikgatlong Municipality has to supply to the two communities. As the current WTW is being operated at full capacity, the risk of not supplying good quality water is increasing daily. The sustainability of the groundwater source supplying Holpan during drought periods is not defined. The project is also in line with the strategic planning documentation including the Reconciliation Strategy and the IDP. The estimated total cost of the project is R 43 850 618.38 (including VAT). The cost per capita, based on the estimated future population of 8 501, is R 5 158.30 per person and the unit cost of the potable water is R 7.00 /kℓ, which compares favourably with industry guidelines. Based on the norms, number of indigents, associated users and enabling economic environment the social component of the project was calculated as 72.94%. The social component of the project is thus calculated as R 31 984 641.05 (including VAT).The social component will be funded through DWAS RBIG programme and counter funded to an amount of R 11 865 977.33 (VAT included) by the Dikgatlong Municipality. An amount of R 16 500 000.00 was approved for the 2015/2016 financial year by DWS and it is expected that the deficit will be funded by DWS in the following financial year. The Municipality will provide the balance of the project funds. The funding agreement will be finalized once DWS has confirmed their contribution to the project through the RBIG program. The proposed activities in the scope of works do not constitute a listed activity in terms of Government Notice No R386 and therefore no environmental authorization is required. The Dikgatlong Municipality is the owner of the property on which the existing and proposed upgraded WTW are located, and there is no land ownership or other legal issues have to be resolved in this regard. Permission has been obtained from the Department of Transport, Roads and Public Works to cross road R347 and construct a rising main pipe line inside the road reserve.

As such the technical design proposed is the best suited to deliver quality potable water to the Windsorton and Holpan communities incorporating the client’s operational and maintenance requirements. Following the completion of this study it is proposed that the “Windsorton/Holpan Regional Bulk Supply Scheme” project is approved to be implementation ready and that it qualifies for RBIG funding in terms of DWS requirements.
