. Customer Perspective: Deliver quality and affordable services to our customers and customers take good care of the infrastructure. . Financial Perspective: Achieve financial sustainability (sustainable tariffs, controlling costs, increased allocation of grants, etc.). . Process Perspective: . Deliver fast, efficient, and effective service delivery (effective performance, removing constraints and bottlenecks, and improving efficiency). . Ensure compliance to legislation and relevant governance prescripts (SCM, Environmental legislation, Health & Safety, etc.). . Identify and effectively manage exposure to all risks. . Achieve an unqualified audit. . Organisational Capacity Perspective: . Ensure availability of adequate and appropriately skilled workforce. . Sound (condition) and adequate (capacity) infrastructure to support current and future demand for water and sanitation services. . Collaborate with relevant stakeholders to increase water resources sustainability.

. This is to ensure bulk water supply system is in place for next 25 years. . Bulk supply is planned in conjunction with Umgeni and DWS to ensure our bulk system is supported by their infrastructure. As EWS buys its potable bulk water supply from Umgeni, which further relies on DWS bulks (dams). Discussed at KZN reconciliation strategy steering committee. . EWS Major projects are: . Western aqueducts – supplies Western and Part of Northern areas . Northern Aqueduct- Supplies Northern region . Certain reservoirs – All Regions within EWS boundaries . Upgrade of treatment plants (water & Waste water)– Different Regions . Trunk Sewers – all regions . Regional Waste Water treatment plants – All Regions . WSDP is draft document- work in progress WSDP

Water Services Development Plan covers the topics below thus gives an overview of the current and future plan for water services: . Background to eThekwini . Status Quo of Water Services Infrastructure and Delivery . Priority Pillars . Innovations . Context within which Water Services planned is being developed . Water Services Planning . Finance . Reporting . Into the Future

KZN Reconciliation Strategy

Strategy: . To meet legitimate current and future water requirements.

Objectives: . To recommend the most suitable interventions to balance water requirements and water resources . To identify responsible institutions and provide target dates for implementation of the strategy. (Reuse 2019, uMWP1 2029)

. Current demand from Pt M(western region) is 90Ml/day. . Current demand for Inanda and areas i.e. from NR2 reservoir is 70Ml/day . Current demand for south(Tshelimnyama, Westmead, Dassenhoek, Kwadengezi) is 30ML/day . Current demand for Jerome drive, Wyebank, Berkshire Down is 10Ml/day . All the above are planned to be supplied from the Western aqueduct. i.e. 200Ml/day . Umgeni has indicated that they can supply 210 Ml/day at Pt M . Current demand for is 10Ml/day which is taken off the 210Ml/day. . Therefore supply and demand will be balanced.

. By supplying the above areas from western aqueduct , heights will have spare capacity available to supply further north. . Although existing northern aqueduct is running at its full capacity, thus only 70Ml/day could be further transported via this aqueduct. . This 70ML/day could be made available to supply development in the north like Cornubia and Dube trade port via new northern aqueduct upgrade. . The extra 45ml/day will provide flexibility within our system. It could be either supplied to the southern aqueduct or to the western region and cater for increase in demand in the INK area. . Umkhomazi project needs to be fast tracked and needs to be operational by 2023 else there will be water shortages. This has been highlighted a long time ago. DWA needs to build Smithfield and Baynesfield dam and increase the available supply at Pt M i.e. by Umlaas Rd. . WA and NA upgrade will improve the supply in the north and west region for next 3 to 5 years but would not cater for future demands in these region. To cater for future demands Smithfield and Baynesfield dam and associated treatment plant needs to be fast tracked.

Potable water reclamation from Northern WWTW Northern is discharged Design = 70 Ml/day to the NA at Newlands Current = 59 Ml/day east.

KwaMashu WWTW & Northern WWTW to existing Northern Aqueduct (NA)24 Water re-use projects are complex and sophisticated, require high level of competence and skill. Capable implementation agency will require: . Technical expertise . Planning ability . Project management capability . Financial strength . Trusted water services delivery . Accepted by community and customers . Compliance of existing WWTWs to achieve strict discharge standards is critical to the future success of water re-use. . Strict enforcement of discharge standards; . Addressing the management and performance failures of wastewater treatment plans.

. Water re-use has good potential to solve local water shortage problems . Water re-use gives best quantitative benefit in coastal applications

(uses water that would have discharged into the sea) 25
