EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The primary objective of the project is to provide a safe and reliable source of potable water to the communities living in the project areas within Chief Albert Luthuli Municipality (CALM). The secondary objective is to develop institutional capacity within the community to create an awareness of the project and to promote health and hygiene awareness during the project and beyond. The project area covers communities residing in Nhlazatshe, Tjakastad, Avontuur, Mooiplaas, Arhemberg, Malahleka, Khuzuwandle and Elukwatini.

COMMUNITY NEEDS

The existing infrastructure is no longer adequate to cope with the current water demand in the project area. Gert Sibande District Municipality (GSDM) intends to Upgrade the infrastructure and simultaneously create a regional water scheme that will be able to provide the required demand projected up to year 2032. The scheme will be able to provide adequate water supplies to a population of between 70 010 (2012) and 96 527 (2032) people.

EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE

Presently, the communities in the project area (for the infrastructure covered in this Technical Report) are supplied from the Eerstehoek Water Treatment Works. The plant in its current state is not sized to cope with the current demand. In addition, various components of the plant are in need of refurbishment and upgrading.

The bulk water distribution system in the form of existing pipelines, pumpstations and reservoirs is also not adequately sized to meet the current and future projected demands.

OPTIONS CONSIDERED

Presently, the communities in the project area are supplied from Eerstehoek Water Treatment Works. This Technical Report reviews three options, together with the Funding Plan. The three options considered are summarised as follows:

Option Description Scope of Works Estimated Total Project Cost(Incl. VAT) Option 1 Water Supply from Upgrade Eesterhoek WTW from a capacity Eerstehoek WTW of 13.4Ml/day to 26Ml/day to serve the (Ekulindeni WTW project area including bulk pipelines, R115 122 779.20 upgraded separately reservoirs and associated pumpstations up under a different BP) to Mooiplaas to the east Option 2 Water Supply from Upgrade Eerstehoek WTW from a capacity Eerstehoek WTW of 13.4Ml/day to 30 Ml/day to serve the R156 550 594.00 entire project area including bulk pipelines, reservoirs and associated pumpstations Option 3 Water Supply from Upgrade Ekulindeni WTW from a capacity of Ekulindeni WTW 4Ml/day to 30 Ml/day including bulk R281 349 500.00 pipelines, reservoirs and associated pumpstations

Eerstehoek Regional Bulk Water Scheme - Technical Report 3 AUGUST 2012

1 INTRODUCTION

This Technical Report is for the Eerstehoek Regional Bulk Water Scheme, which includes the following bulk water infrastructure:

 Refurbish and upgrade the existing Theespruit and Komati River Raw Water Abstraction civil works.

 Refurbish and upgrade the Komati Raw Water Booster Pumpstation to supply the additional demand up to the required 300l/s to the Eerstehoek WTW.

 Upgrade of Eerstehoek WTW from a capacity of 13.4Ml/day to 26Ml/day.

 Construction of the following pipelines: o 6.8km long x 450mm diameter uPVC rising main (class 16) from the Komati River Raw Water Pumpstation to Eerstehoek WTW.

In addition, the CALM is upgrading and refurbishing reticulation infrastructure. Implementation of a Water Conservation and Demand Management project to optimise the use of raw and treated water in the project area will be required in future. This will be subject to a separate business plan to be prepared by CALM.

Thus the project, under this Technical Report deals only with the bulk infrastructure from the abstraction points to appropriate storage infrastructure within the project area.

1.4 Project Objectives

The primary objective of this project is to ensure the bulk infrastructure requirements of GSDM are met with a view to specifically focus on New or Consolidated Regional Bulk Infrastructure. This is as stated by the Mvula Trust Report dated May 2010.

“The new or consolidated Regional Bulk infrastructure must serve extensive areas over Municipal boundaries with the main aim to:

1. Eradicate Backlogs (access to basic infrastructure); 2. Serve housing and settlement programmes; 3. Support and stimulate economic growth and development; 4. Improve water service quality: - Drinking Water Quality (WTW) - Effluent quality (STW) - Eradicate high water losses - Consider O&M challenges (limited finances, ownership, lack of adequately skilled staff, lack of management, poor asset management. - Improve supply interruptions ( reliability of supply) 5. Provide benefit of scale; 6. Optimize costs / appropriate technology; 7. Support integrated resource planning and management; 8. Promote cooperation between authorities with regard to sharing of resources, responsibilities and risks; 9. Shared financial responsibilities; and 10. Increase sustainability”.

1.5 Purpose of Technical Report

The purpose of this project is to provide a sustainable long term upgrade to the standards of water supply thereby also alleviating current issues within the areas of Eerstehoek and to provide improved water quality to the inhabitants which will curtail any water related health risks.

This Technical Report aims to:

 Describe a strategic programme based approach to water service delivery, including area implications for the communities within the Eerstehoek area;  Provide a control document setting out the time, quality and cost details for the potential scope of work;  Give details of the programme and project layout and defining the area and its attributes for sustainability;  Describe how the project has been and will continue to be implemented and managed;  Demonstrate how the project will conform to RBIG requirements ;

In summary, the GSDM seeks that the Department of Water Affairs (DWA) recommends approval for the development of the Eerstehoek Regional Bulk Water

Eerstehoek Regional Bulk Water Scheme - Technical Report 6 AUGUST 2012

Scheme which will form the basis of securing Regional Bulk Infrastructure Grant (RBIG) funding.

1.6 Overview of Regional Planning/Studies

The GSDM utilizes the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and the Water Services Development Plan (WSDP) to prioritise the critical areas in need of portable water. The Eerstehoek area has been prioritized for development in terms of this document.

In addition, other studies have been commissioned at various levels (DWA, CALM and GSDM) are relevant to this report. These include the following studies/reports:

 Report titled “Status Quo Report for the Development of Regional Bulk Infrastructure” dated May 2010 compiled for DWA by PD Naidoo & Associates (Pty) Ltd (PDNA).

2 NEEDS DETERMINATION

2.1 Demographics

2.1.1 Population

Population figures shown are sourced from the following documents:

 GSDM Integrated Regional Water Services Development Plan (WSDP) dated September 2009 prepared by Messrs WorleyParsons RSA (former Kwezi V3) Engineers which provided population figures for year 2008.

 Chief Albert Luthuli Municipality (CALM) WSDP dated 21 October 2010 which provided population figures for year 2008.

 DWA Status Quo Report for the Development of Regional Bulk Infrastructure, Volume 1 and 2 dated May 2010 prepared by PD Naidoo and Associates which provided population figures escalated to 2010 at a growth rate of 1.5% based on DWA Macro Planning information.

The population demographics as provided by each document are as detailed in Table 2.1 below.

Table 2.1: Population Figures GSDM Integrated Regional Chief Albert Luthuli DWA Status Quo Report for Water Services Municipality (CALM) the Development of Development Plan (WSDP) WSDP Regional Bulk Infrastructure Village/ (Volume 1) Water Scheme Settlement (Year 2008) Year 2010 (Year 2008) N⁰ of Population N⁰ of Population N⁰ of Population Households Households Households Elukwatini 3 271 12 593 3271 12 593 3 200 12 692 Eerstehoek Inhlazatshea 6 971 32 066 6 971 32 066 6 820 32 320 Water Tjakastad 2 564 15 330 2 564 15 330 2 507 15 451 Scheme Avontuur 153 718 153 718 150 723 Mooiplaas 861 4 432 861 4 432 842 4 467 Malahleka 165 824 165 824 - - TOTAL 13 985 65 963 13 985 65 963 13 519 65 653

From the table above, it is clear that the GSDM Integrated Regional Water Services Development Plan (WSDP) and Chief Albert Luthuli Municipality (CALM) WSDP use the same current population figures. The population figures quoted are for year 2008. Applying an annual average growth rate of 1.5%, the 2012 population estimate is 70 010 people.

For purposes of this technical report, the population figures from the CALM Water Services Development Plan (WSDP) attached as Annexure B1 have been adopted. The average number of persons per household is 4.6.

2.1.2 Growth projections

DWA recommends that when estimating population growth trends, three growth scenarios are used as follows:

Eerstehoek Regional Bulk Water Scheme - Technical Report 8 AUGUST 2012

Growth Classification Recommended Annual % Growth Low Growth 0.5% Medium Growth 1.5% High Growth 2.5%

The following should be noted with regard to anticipated population growth trends in the project area:

 It is expected that a negative growth is possible due to the prevalence of HIV and AIDS and the rural to urban migration of mainly the youth seeking employment after completion of schooling.

 The area has tourism potential as a result of the Songimvelo Nature Reserve being located in the area. The road leading to the Songimvelo Nature Reserve and also joining the National R40 into Swaziland is currently being upgraded. This will result in an increase in the traffic volumes and visits to the project area.

 A number of RDP housing schemes with a service level 4 for water and sanitation services (i.e. individual house connections for water and sanitation services) are being provided and are at various stages of construction at Tjakastad and Nhlazatshe.

 In view of the foregoing, medium growth is expected in the project area and accordingly an annual growth rate of 1.5% and 1.85% will be used to determine future projections.

The population breakdown in terms of the areas supplied by the individual water treatment plants can be further broken down as detailed in Table 2.2. The present day (2012) deemed population for the areas supplied is 70 010 people. This assumption will be confirmed during detailed design.

Assuming a design horizon of 20 years and using the growth rates as reflected on Table 2.2 and Annexure B1, the projected total population by year 2032 is 96 527 people.

2.2 Demand/Needs Parameters

2.2.1 Service Levels (volumetric)

The communities in the project area can be classified as rural to peri-urban. Most of the households in the peri-urban areas have an upgraded level of service for water services to that of individual house connections. This has contributed to the increase in water demand in the area as this level of service results in increased water usage.

The basis of the needs parameters to be utilised in determining the demand is The Guidelines for Human Settlement, Planning and Design (The Red Book).

Despite the Regional Bulk Infrastructure Grant only covering demands of 150 l/c/d inclusive of losses, more realistic demand projections were adopted taking into account the development in the project area. The funding deficit will be covered by the GSDM counter funding as well as the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) allocation for CALM.

The demands arising from the areas supplied by Eerstehoek Water Treatment Works are determined as show in Table 2.3.

2.3 Related Projects

CALM is currently implementing / have implemented the following related projects in the project area:

Eerstehoek Regional Bulk Water Scheme - Technical Report 13 AUGUST 2012

 Reticulation pipes replacement (AC pipes only) within the areas currently being served by Eerstehoek WTW to manage and curtail water loss through mains.

 Provision of a package water treatment plant at Mooiplaas and Avontuur. CALM anticipates this to be an immediate, short term solution to alleviate issues of water supply in this area.

 Replace the current bridge crossing along the pipeline between the Eerstehoek WTW and Mooiplaas.

 Refurbishment of Eerstehoek Water Treatment Works and elimination of bottlenecks in the system , for the WTW to operate at its design capacity of 13.4Ml/day

These projects being carried out by CALM under their Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) programme. These projects seek to solve the current water issues and as such are short to medium term projects.

A Water Conservation and Demand Management project to reduce the “unaccounted for water” levels will be implemented by CALM once the regional water scheme has been completed.

3 ENGINEERING VIABILITY

3.1 Options Considered

3.1.1 Source

The potential sources and the characteristics for water sources for the Eerstehoek Bulk Water Regional Scheme are discussed in this section and under the following headings:

 Hydrological/Geohydrological Analyses  Water Balance  Medium /Long-term sustainability  Infrastructure

(a) Hydrological/Geohydrological Analyses

Surface Runoff

According to the report “Evaluation of the Water Resources of the Gert Sibande District Municipality” Water Resources Analyses were carried out using the Water Resources Modelling Platform (Mallory, et al)”. Where model setups were already available, then these were used, failing which new setups were created using WR2005 hydrology and water use upstream of abstraction point from WR2005 or the WARMS database. The report indicates the following:

 Surface water in the vicinity of Eerstehoek (Elukwatini) can be obtained from Theespruit River (a catchment of the Komati River) and the Komati River. Studies indicate that the yield of the two rivers (after taking into account upstream use is 25Mm3/annum., which equates to approximately 68,000m3/day.

Underground Water

The Water Services Development Plans (2003 and 2008/2009) indicate the following with respect to borehole sources:

 In the Eerstehoek (Elukwatini) Area, twelve boreholes situated in Mbekeka, Tjakastad, Elukwatini, Mooiplaas, Arnhemburg, Enkaba, Brandybal, exist. The average yield of all the boreholes is, reportedly, very low, and, thus, would not provide a sustainable source of water.

(b) Water Balance

Water Balance Statistics for the Eerstehoek (Elukwatini) Water Scheme is summarised in the Table below:

Item Description Eerstehoek (Elukwatini) 1 Potential surface water yield at abstraction point 25Mm3/year 2 Current abstraction 3.15Mm3/year 3 % Headroom on Current Abstraction 87.4%

Eerstehoek Regional Bulk Water Scheme - Technical Report 15 AUGUST 2012

4 Projected Demand/Abstraction (incl. for losses) 11Mm3/year 5 % Headroom 56%

Based on the water balance, there are adequate water resource quantities to meet the medium and long term requirements of the project area.

3.1.2 Water Quality

The water quality from the river runoff will require the following processes to treat to the required SANS levels:

 Flocculation  Sedimentation/Clarification  Filtration and  Chlorination.

The water will be treated to comply with SANS 241

3.2 Engineering Considerations

3.2.1 Planning Norms and Design Parameters

Refer to Section 2.2.1 for Planning Norms and Design Parameters.

3.2.2 Existing Infrastructure

The project area is covered by Eerstehoek (Elukwatini) Water Scheme. The eastern areas adjacent to the project area up the border with Swaziland are serviced by the Ekulindeni Water Scheme. The two water schemes are briefly discussed under this section.

(a) Eersterhoek Water Scheme

Eerstehoek (Elukwatini) serves the project area that includes Avontuur, Tjakastad, Nhlazatshe, Eerstehoek (Elukwatini), Arnemburg and Mooiplaas. The schematic layout of the Eerstehoek (Elukwatini) Water Scheme is shown in Fig 1.

Eerstehoek Regional Bulk Water Scheme - Technical Report 16 AUGUST 2012

Fig 1: Schematic Layout of the Eerstehoek Water Supply Scheme

The existing bulk infrastructure is briefly discussed hereunder.

Eerstehoek Regional Bulk Water Scheme - Technical Report 17 AUGUST 2012

(i) Raw Water Abstraction

Raw water is abstracted from Theespruit and Komati Rivers as follows:

 Theespruit abstraction infrastructure comprises a pumpstation and pipework system capable of delivering 100l/s to the Eerstehoek WTW.

 Komati River abstraction infrastructure comprising of a pumpstation and pipework system capable of delivering 50l/s to the Eerstehoek WTW. The existing infrastructure, including the existing 250mm diameter uPVC rising main from the abstraction works to Eerstehoek WTW, is no longer adequate to cope with the current demand of 127 l/s and the projected demand of 300 l/s (refer to Table 2.3). The abstraction works is currently the subject of investigation, design and upgrade by Chief Albert Luthuli Municipality.

(ii) Water Treatment Works

Eerstehoek WTW, capable of treating approximately 13.4Ml/day. The Treatment Plant is currently incapable of producing the designed 13.4 ML/d capacity. In addition, the WTW is no longer adequate to cope with the current demand as stated above. The WTW is subject to investigation, design and upgrade by GSDM as Implementing Agent for CALM. This is the subject of this Technical Report.

(iii) Bulk Pipelines

There are over 70km of bulk pipework (of size greater than 100mm diameter) distributing treated water to the consumers. Of this pipework, pertinent to this Technical Report are the following:

 The existing 250mm diameter uPVC rising main from the Komati Abstraction works to Eerstehoek WTW is no longer adequate to meet the demand in the project area and requires to be upgraded. This upgrade work is included in this technical report.

 The distribution pipework network is varied state/condition resulting in “unaccounted for water” levels of reportedly up to 40%. The CALM is currently investigating, designing and upgrading distribution infrastructure through another project. In addition, a water conservation and demand management intervention has been initiated through a separate project.

(iv) Pumpstations

There are six pumpstations that pump clear water to the various supply areas and two raw water pumpstations pumping water to Eerstehoek WTW. The clear water pumpstations and the Theespruit Raw Water Pumpstation are all currently upgraded and in good working condition. Upgrading of the Komati Raw Water Booster Pumpstation is the subject of this technical report.

Source: Mpulanga Water Services Business Definition – Mswati & Mlondozi Regions 2. BPTs and pumpstation sumps are not considered as available storage capacity

Eerstehoek Regional Bulk Water Scheme - Technical Report 20 AUGUST 2012

The bulk storage facilities have a combined capacity of 26.017 Ml excluding the 4 Ml storage which is dedicated to the Eerstehoek Hospital and the Break Pressure Tanks (BPTs). Recommended storage capacity is 48 hrs of Annual Average Daily Demand. The total present day storage requirement for the project area is 18.203 Ml (Table 2.3, 2012 AADD). The projected 2032 storage requirements is 31.704Ml meaning that an additional 5.688Ml is required.

The storage requirements can be further broken down into the individual supply areas as detailed in the table below.

2012 2032 Village or Available Available 2012 48 hr 2032 48 hr Settlement Capacity Shortfall Capacity Shortfall AADD Storage AADD Storage (Ml) (Ml)

Elukwatini 1.738 3.475 10 -6.525 3.354 6.708 10 -3.292 Inhlazatshe 4.424 8.849 4.25 4.599 8.540 17.079 4.25 12.829 Tjakastad 2.115 4.230 10.435 -6.205 2.849 5.697 10.435 -4.738 Avontuur 0.099 0.198 0 0.198 0.133 0.267 0 0.267 Mooiplaas 0.612 1.223 1.3 -0.077 0.824 1.647 1.3 0.347 Malahleka 0.114 0.228 0.032 0.196 0.153 0.306 0.032 0.274 TOTAL 9.101 18.203 26.017 -7.814 15.852 31.705 26.017 5.688

From the table above, it is clear that presently (2012), there is a shortfall in storage capacity at Inhlazatshe, Avontuur and Malahleka. For the projected 20 year demand (2032), additional storage capacity will be required for all the settlements except for Elukwatini and Tjakastad. The provision of the required additional storage is included in this technical report.

(b) Ekulindeni Water Scheme

Ekulindeni serves eastern areas of the project area that include Bosville, Ebutsini, Ekulindeni, Kalwerskraal, Moddergat, Ngoneni, Nhlaba/Maanhaar, Steynsdorp and Vlakplaas. The bulk infrastructure comprises the following:

 River abstraction from the Komati River with abstraction infrastructure comprising a single submersible pump and pipework system. No structure is provided in the river for the submersible pump. The submersible pump feeds centrifugal pumps located in a dilapidated building on the banks of the Komati River. The abstraction works is currently the subject of investigation and refurbishment by the Chief Albert Luthuli Municipality.

 Ekulindeni WTW, capable of treating approximately 4Ml/day. Due to the current inefficient state of the works, it is no longer able to supply the current demand of 3.8 Ml/day. The WTW is subject to investigation by GSDM as Implementing Agent for CALM with a view to integrating it into a long-term water supply regionalisation plan.

 Over 20km of bulk pipework (of size greater than 100mm diameter) distributing treated water to the consumers. The distribution pipework network is varied state/condition resulting in “unaccounted for water” levels of up to 40%.The CALM is currently investigating, designing and refurbishing distribution infrastructure through another project. In addition, a water conservation and demand management intervention has been initiated through another project.

Eerstehoek Regional Bulk Water Scheme - Technical Report 21 AUGUST 2012

 Bulk storage facilities with a combined capacity of 2.3 Ml. The capacity of these storage facilities is not adequate to meet the current demand of 3.4 Ml/day and the projected demand of 5 Ml/day. CALM is assessing the adequacy of existing facilities and proposals for additional facilities under a separate project.

3.2.3 Proposed Infrastructure

Two potential sources of water exist in the form of surface runoff from the Theespruit River and Komati River in the vicinity of Eerstehoek WTW and the Komati River in the vicinity of Ekulindeni WTW. At all abstraction points, the sources have yields far in excess of the demands of the project footprint. Thus the following options for development are considered:

(a) Option 1 – Upgrade and Operate Eerstehoek Water Scheme (Ekulindeni Water Scheme upgraded separately under a different BP)

This option will involve the upgrading of Eerstehoek WTWs to a capacity of 26Ml/day Ml/day to serve the project area. In addition bulk pipelines and associated pumpstations will be required to serve the areas.

The infrastructure is thus summarised as follows:

Upgrade infrastructure to provide adequate water supplies up to Mooiplas in the east as follows:

 Refurbish and upgrade the existing Theespruit and Komati River Raw Water Abstraction civil works.

 Refurbish and upgrade the Komati Raw Water Booster Pumpstation to supply the additional demand up to the required 300l/s to the Eerstehoek WTW.

 Upgrade of Eerstehoek WTW from a capacity of 13.4Ml/day to 26Ml/day.

 Construction of the following pipelines: o 6.8km long x 450mm diameter uPVC rising main (class 16) from the Komati River Raw Water Pumpstation to Eerstehoek WTW.

The present day construction cost estimate of this option is R115 122 779.20 (including VAT). Refer to Annexure B2 for breakdown of costs.

Note: The upgrading of Ekulindeni WTW will be undertaken CALM under a separate business plan and funding source.

Eerstehoek Regional Bulk Water Scheme - Technical Report 22 AUGUST 2012

(b) Option 2 – Upgrade Eerstehoek WTW only to Supply Eerstehoek and Ekulindeni

The option will involve the upgrade of Eerstehoek WTW from a capacity of 13.4Ml/day to 30 Ml/day. Pipelines and associated pumpstations will be required to convey water from Eerstehoek (Elukwatini) to Ekulindeni and en route serve the areas of Mooiplaas, Bosville, Vlakplaas and Steyndorp.

The infrastructure is thus summarised as follows:

 Upgrade WTWs; o Eerstehoek to be upgraded from a capacity of 13Ml/day to 30Ml/day o Theespruit and Komati River Abstraction civil and mechanical works upgrade to meet the WTW design capacity of 30Ml/day.

 Construction of the following pipelines: o 6.8km long x 450mm diameter uPVC rising main (class 16) from the Komati River Raw Water Pumpstation to Eerstehoek WTW. o 8.5km x 350mm diameter uPVC gravity main from Elukwatini to Mooiplaas reservoir. o 5.5km x 350mm diameter uPVC rising main from Mooiplaas to Ekulindeni Command Reservoir. o 9.0km x 350mm diameter uPVC gravity main from Ekulindeni Command Reservoir to Ekulindeni o 2.0km long x 160mm diameter gravity main from Ekulindeni Command Reservoir to Bosville.

 Construction and Equipping of the following pumpstations; o Elukwatini Pumpstation situated at the Eerstehoek WTW (upgrade works) o Ekulindeni Pumpstation situated at Mooiplaas

 Construction of the following reservoirs: o A new 2Ml storage reservoir at the Eerstehoek Water Treatment Plant. o 2 No. x 6.5Ml reservoirs (to provide a total capacity of 13Ml) at Inhlazatshe. o A new 0.3Ml reservoir at Avontuur. o A new 0.3Ml reservoir at Malahleni. o A new 0.4Ml reservoir at Mooiplaas. o A new 1.0Ml Ekulindeni Command Reservoir located at the top of the hill between Ekulindeni and Mooiplass.

This option will require one Operation and Maintenance team at Eerstehoek WTW.

The present day construction cost estimate of this option is R156 550 594.00 (including VAT). Refer to Annexure B2 for breakdown of costs.

This option will involve the upgrade of Ekulindeni WTW from a capacity of 4Ml/day to 30 Ml/day. Pipelines and associated pumpstations will be required to convey water from Ekulindeni to Eerstehoek (Elukwatini) and en route serve the areas of Mooiplaas, Bosville, Vlakplaas and Steyndorp.

The infrastructure is thus summarised as follows:

 Upgrade WTWs;

Eerstehoek Regional Bulk Water Scheme - Technical Report 23 AUGUST 2012

o Ekulindeni WTW to be upgraded from 4Ml/day to 30Ml/day including river abstraction facilities.

 Construction of the following pipelines: o 14.5km long x 500mm diameter steel rising main from Ekulindeni WTW to a 1 Ml command reservoir located at the top of the hill between Ekulindeni and Mooiplass. o 2.5km long x 500mm diameter steel gravity pipeline from the 1 Ml command reservoir to Elukwatini (near hospital). o 2.0km long x 160mm diameter gravity main from 1Ml command reservoir to Bosville.

 Construction and Equipping of the following pumpstations; o Elukwatini Pumpstation situated at Ekulindeni WTW

 Construction of the following reservoirs: o A new 1.0Ml Ekulindeni Command Reservoir located at the top of the hill between Ekulindeni and Mooiplass. o 2 No. x 6.5Ml reservoirs (to provide a total capacity of 13Ml) at Inhlazatshe. o A new 0.3Ml reservoir at Avontuur. o A new 0.3Ml reservoir at Malahleni. o A new 0.4Ml reservoir at Mooiplaas.

This option will require one Operation and Maintenance team at the Ekulindeni WTW.

The present day construction cost estimate of this option is R281 349 500.00 (including VAT). Refer to Annexure B2 for breakdown of costs.

Option 1 has been selected as a result of the lower present day and overall long term costs.

3.2.4 Bill of Quantities

Detailed construction cost estimates have been prepared using industry norms, previous experience and current rates on awarded contracts for scope of works of a similar nature. Based on the overall capital and Operation and Maintenance Costs, the most favourable option is Option 1. This option involves the upgrade of the Eerstehoek WTW to become a source for a regional scheme serving the project area up to Mooiplaas. The areas from Ekulindeni up to Bosville will be supplied from Ekulindeni WTW. This scheme will be referred to as the “Eerstehoek Regional Bulk Water Scheme”.

The project will be implemented with funding from the RBIG, GSDM and MIG allocation on the basis of the proposal in this Technical Report. The capital cost for the project is R115 122 779.20 (including VAT).

(a) Implementation Plan

The project is to be implemented in manageable work packages that will be aimed at achieving the overall target completion date for the project. The breakdown of the costs and respective work packages is detailed in Tables 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5.

4 INSTITUTIONAL SUSTAINABILITY

4.1 Community Structures

4.1.1 Community Structures

The project area covers the following municipality wards:

Area Ward Elukwatini 9,10,13,14,16,18,19,20

All wards have ward committees that steer projects and disseminate information to the residents.

The project components in the rural areas will be subject to acceptance by the tribal structures.

4.1.2 Level of community awareness and development

During the development of the project, the GSDM will ensure that there is a high level of awareness amongst members of the community regarding developments in their area. This will be done by the following:

 Involvement of the key stakeholders in the project steering committee  Providing regular project updates to the councillors of CALM and GSDM  Appointment of a Community Liaison Officer (CLO) at the appropriate stages of the project  Dissemination of project information through public notices and meetings.

4.1.3 Level of involvement of women

The participation of women in this particular project will be continuously promoted. Ensuring women participation is one of the critical areas of the PSC. The women have generally expressed a willingness to be involved in all aspects of the water project. Their male counterparts have come to understand and accept that government stipulates 50 % representation in all development programmes and projects.

(a) Income level and sources of income of the community

The GSDM WSDP provides information on the Annual Household Incomes in the area as shown below:

Income Range (R) Population (%) Below R2,400 0.5% R2,400 to R12,000 13.1% R12,000 to R18,000 12.9% > R18,000 73.5%

Eerstehoek Regional Bulk Water Scheme - Technical Report 30 AUGUST 2012

On the basis of the above, about 26.5% of the population can be classified as predominantly poor. However, the remainder can be expected to have the ability to pay modest amounts for the water service.

4.1.4 Community Involvement

Community involvement is at various stages/levels of the project as follows:

 Identification and prioritisation through the IDP process.  Project steering by representation in the Project Steering Committees.  Facilitation by granting access to contractors and CALM to construct. Infrastructure on their property subject to agreement.  Labour provision by use of local labour on the project.  Supply of materials/services by local enterprises.  Operation of infrastructure by use of local personnel.  Supply of personnel for the operation and maintenance of infrastructure during its use.

The community involvement will be promoted through meetings, training and the GSDM/CALM’s procurement policies.

4.2 Water Service Authority

4.2.1 Status and proficiency of Local Water Services Authority:

Chief Albert Luthuli Municipality (CALM) is the Water Service Authority for this region as per local government Municipal Structures Act 117 0f 1998, as contemplated in the Water Service Act 108 0f 1998. The CALM is a competent WSA and has the capacity to perform the role of a Water Services Authority. The development of this scheme is by GSDM as the Implementing Agent. However, it will be owned by CALM as the WSA. It is therefore considered that the WSA has adequate capacity to manage its operation and maintenance.

The Overall Management Organogram for the project showing the relationships between the various stakeholders is depicted in Figure 1

4.3 Water Service Provider

4.3.1 Section 78 Determination

The CALM undertook a Section 78(1) Assessment in May 2007. The following pertinent findings were made:

 The CALM provided effective service in some parts of the municipal area.  Water balancing and metering needed some attention.  Upgrading of WTW was required.  Cost recovery was poor in areas previously run by DWA.  It was possible for the CALM to provide the service internally with experienced top management and suitably qualified and experienced middle management, superintendents and operators.

Eerstehoek Regional Bulk Water Scheme - Technical Report 32 AUGUST 2012

4.3.2 Water Services Provider

The CALM is the Water Services Provider in the project area. As per the Section 78) (1) Assessment, the CALM is capable of undertaking the WSP function. However, it is considered prudent for the CALM to regularly assess the viability of external mechanisms for service delivery.

4.3.3 Consumer/Customer Relation

The Municipality is responsible for the billing or meter readings for the existing water supply schemes. All households, including each private connected user are guaranteed 6 kilolitres, free of charge, anything above is then charged.

4.4 Legal Requirements

4.4.1 Water Use Registration

According to the report “Comprehensive Assessments on Water and Sanitation Treatment Works in the Chief Albert Luthuli Municipality for Badplaas, Carolina, Ekulindeni, Elukwatini, eMpuluzi, Lusushwane and Oshoek” prepared by Messrs SSI Engineers and Environmental Consultants, no abstraction permit exists for the proposed water source (Komati and Theespruit Rivers at Eerstehoek). Through this project the CALM will apply for the permit.

4.4.2 Project Registration with Respect to NEMA

As the project infrastructure comprises elements that are listed in terms of the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA), the project will require environmental approval through a “Basic Assessment”. A basic assessment involves the identification and analysis of environmental risks/ threats that may be caused by the implementation of the project. Once identified, possible solutions or mitigation against environmental damage is suggested, analysed and recommended. The deliverables from this analysis is a Basic Assessment Report which is submitted to Department of Agriculture and Environmental Affairs and Rural Development (DAEARD) for approval.

Environmental authorisation to proceed with the project is granted when the basic assessment report is approved by DAEARD. When implementation of the project commences an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is prepared which details how construction works are to be carried out to prevent environmental damage. The EMP is included in the tender documentation for the works so that tenderers can price to comply with environmental requirements.

The preparation of the basic Assessment Report and the EMP is specialised work that will be undertaken by an Environmental Practitioner to be appointed at project implementation stage.

The objective of the exercise is to improve communication between the community and the WSA and WSP. This will be done via project and public meetings. The requisite skills training should focus on communication strategies, barriers to effective communication, and methods of improving communication. At the end of the exercise there should be convergence of minds amongst all role players. The possible methodologies than can be employed include lectures, discussions, Question and Answer sessions and Role Playing.  Awareness Creation – the objective of this exercise is to enlighten the community and the PSC on the processes that will be followed to deliver the water project. Project meetings, public meetings, banners and posters will be used to reach out to the target groups. Methodologies to be employed include lectures, discussions and question and answer sessions. Skills training are required to form an outstanding of the nature of the project, the size of the project, the various stages of the project and the payment options. Awareness will be achieved when the average citizen in the project area has gained knowledge of the project and the various phases of the scheme.  Community Responsibility – the key objective of this exercise will be to make the community take ownership of the project from inception and during the life of the scheme. The target group for this exercise is the community at large. This will be achieved via public meetings, project meeting and banners and posters. The topics to be covered will include safeguarding assets, the benefits of looking after the project and the consequences of failing to do so, water conservation and demand management and health and hygiene issues. Success indicators will include ownership and sustainability of the project. Methodology to include lectures, discussions and question and answer sessions.

Eerstehoek Regional Bulk Water Scheme - Technical Report 35 AUGUST 2012

5.3.2 Sustainable Institutions

CALM is an established institution and will not require additional training under this project.

5.3.3 Sanitation Health and Hygiene Promotion

The social consultant will, whilst discussing the water project, provide general information and discuss sanitation, health and hygiene in general with the PSC and the community.

5.3.4 Entrepreneurial Development

GSDM has adopted the policy of Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act, 2000(Act No.5 of 2000.). The District Municipality gives preference to HDIs, local contractors and SMMEs. Tender documents are compiled such that the targeted contractors are able to tender for manageable size contracts. Further tender briefing will be arranged and conducted by the Engineer for emerging contractors after site inspections to explain the contents of tender documents to them.

Annexure E is attached detailing the scope of works to be undertaken by the ISD Consultant.

5.4 Labour Based Construction

Where conditions permit, the contract documents for the infrastructure and pipelines construction will specify hand excavation and other labour intensive work as a means of creating jobs for the local communities. The contract documents will also specify that 100% of the contractors’ unskilled labour force is to be sourced from the local communities.

The PSC will form a labour sub-committee which will be responsible for identifying and recommending suitable candidates for employment as labourers, pipe-layers, etc. The Labour Sub-Committee will ensure that the above employment policy is adhered to each time employment opportunities arise. The Sub-Committee will also assist in dispute resolution and payment of labourers and builders.

It is estimated that approximately 140 community jobs will be created during construction. This will include builders for block-work, labour for excavation of trenches and movement of materials from store yards to the construction site, pipe layers and artisans and transporters. The breakdown of anticipated job opportunities is provided in Table 5.3.

(a) Cost Recovery

The Water Services Authority and Water Services Provider for the bulk and reticulation infrastructure will be CALM. The cost recovery strategy has been developed by the WSA and WSP.

Free Basic Water

The free basic water policy of CALM will apply to the project area. Each household will thus be entitled to 6 kilolitres of free water per month. All water from communal standpipes will be delivered free of charge in line with “free basic water” principles.

Indigent Policy

CALM has an Indigent Policy in place which has been implemented since 2008.

High Level of Individual Household Services

It is anticipated that once water services are available, the community will require improving the level of service to that of private individual connection. The cost recovery strategy has been developed by the WSA and WSP (bulk and reticulation), together with input from their Finance Division. The WSP will take legal action and upgrade other schemes to ensure better cost recovery in line with the requirements of the Water Services Act, Act 107 of 1997.

Institutional Service Delivery

The Water Services Authority is CALM. For this project, GSDM is the Implementing Agent. CALM will be the bulk and reticulation Water Services Provider, who will be responsible for maintaining and operating all aspects of the water infrastructure (i.e. bulk and reticulation). Selling of water via standpipes (optional) and private connections will be by CALM Finance
