Environmental Challenges

  • Ageing water infrastructure requiring significant repair and upgrades (estimated R332 billion backlog)
  • Water crisis due to drought and flooding exacerbated by climate change
  • National water supply and demand gap projected to grow
  • Municipalities' capacity constraints in accessing funding and implementing projects
  • Complex public-private partnership (PPP) regulatory framework
  • Low revenue collection from water tariffs
  • Lack of locally demonstrated technologies for sludge beneficiation
  • High energy costs and energy insecurity leading to load shedding
Mitigation Strategies
  • Project Preparation Facility and Infrastructure Fund to prepare bankable infrastructure projects
  • Increased project preparation support from national government to municipalities
  • Policies, plans, and financial mechanisms to invest in wastewater infrastructure
  • Regulatory changes promoting sludge beneficiation (ban on liquid waste to landfill)
  • Focus on implementing renewable energy and energy efficiency interventions at wastewater treatment works (WWTWs)
  • Water Partnerships Office to facilitate public-private partnerships
  • National Water Resource Infrastructure Agency (NWRIA) to raise private sector finance
