Kwazulu-Natal Chapter 6 KWA-ZULU NATAL PROVINCE 92.1% Provincial Best Performer eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality is the best performing municipality in Kwa-Zulu Natal Province with support from Umgeni Water as their Service Provider. The Municipal Blue Drop Score of 98.77% was achieved. Congratulations!

This first place is by a significant margin, which is exceptional, but other municipalities are encouraged to accept the challenge and implement all Blue Drop requirements. Newcastle Local Municipality, together with uThukela Water Board, came an impressive second (indicating that the smaller water board can indeed compete with Umgeni Water). iLembe must be one of the biggest water services authorities in the country and still managed a very good provincial third place in spite of all the challenges that come with the magnitude of the area to be served. Most Improved uMkhanyakude District Municipality is acknowledged for tremendous improvement in performance over the past 3 years. The municipal score for this water service authority increased from a meagre 22.4% in 2010, to 32.5% and an impressive 77.8% in 2012. This commitment is appreciated. Lowest Performer(s) uThukela District Municipality did not perform poorly and therefore cannot justifiably be rated as the lowest performer. Yet they did not improve as per expectation.

Due to the nature of the size of this system, it does not affect the weighted Municipal Blue Drop score as negatively since the implication of this is that the vast majority of the eThekwini population (Greater Durban) do receive a consistent supply of clean drinking water. This comparator highlights shortcomings that need attention from the KZN Blue Drop log leader. The trend of no linkage between technical and financial staff, is also found in this province since only a few municipalities could provide expenditure information on operations and maintenance. This implies that this should be regarded as a prominent risk to effective asset management.

The Department, however, notes that the commitment of uThukela Water to maintain excellence in drinking water quality management from the Ngagane - and Biggarsberg water treatment works, recognised by Blue Drops in the Newcastle and uMzinyathi municipalities to points of use, in respectively in the Alcock- and Hattingspruit supply systems, is highly remarkable. A slight decline was noted in the performance of the Dannhauser, Durnacol and Utrecht supply systems. While the drinking water remained of excellent quality, and the DWA encourages the WSA / WSP to maintain the improved monitoring programmes, asset management and water safety planning were identified as two areas that require attention. DWA noted that the municipality is in process of developing water safety plans for the latter systems, while efforts continues, the municipality is advised to not work in isolation but to strengthen relationships with uThukela Water who, as evident from scores in the Alcock- and Hattingspruit systems, developed and implemented good water safety plans. Process control staff needs to be shown competent and adequate in terms of numbers against Regulation 2834 (to be Regulation 17) at the Dannhauser, Durnacol and Ultrech treatment plants. Daily activities should be recorded in logbooks. It must also be noted that without financial support from Amajuba District Municipality to maintain their business, uThukela Water might not be in a position to overcome its shortcomings while striving excellence in all the systems. Overall drinking water quality management practices were evaluated exceptional within the Rural: Buffalo Flats supply system. While it is recognised that the system also receives water from the Blue Drop Ngagane treatment works, the WSA / WSP must still proof through the risk assessment process that comprehensive chemical quality monitoring of the final water at the treatment plant is sufficient to confirm that the water at the point of use remained of an excellent quality. Site Inspection Scores: Dannhauser: 50% The Dannhauser WTW was visited to verify the Amajuba District Municipality and uThukela Water Blue Drop findings. While the water treatment process was relatively well managed, the overall site inspection impression was not acceptable. Occupational Health and Safety issues need particular attention. Areas requiring improvement at the Dannhauser WTW include: The appearance of the WTW was unacceptable in some areas: access control was compromised due the poorly maintained fence, the area used by Process Controllers for eating was in a poor condition; and as a result, the general workplace satisfaction was low; The following critical documents were not present at the Dannhauser WTW: .
