1 STELLENBOSCH MUNICIPALITY LONG-TERM WATER CONSERVATION AND WATER DEMAND MANAGEMENT STRATEGY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (Final Report) FEBRUARY 2012
2 STELLENBOSCH MUNICIPALITY WATER CONSERVATION AND WATER DEMAND MANAGEMENT STRATEGY (10 YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN)
3 OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND South Africa is water scarce country faced with the challenge of water demand by various sectors of economy. The Government mandated the Department of Water Affairs (DWA) to be a legal custodian of water and forestry and to ensure that these resources are sustainable managed for future generations, in equitable manners. In order to sustain the aforementioned resources, the government had to develop legislations (National Water Act and the Water Services act) and strategies (National Water Resource Strategy) that will inform the management of water resources and sanitation. All of the aforementioned prescripts of Government promote democratisation and community-based management of water resources, which is characterized by community participation. Various studies were commissioned by DWA to gain an understanding on the extent of water losses in Municipalities (DWA, 2006). A survey on water losses was conducted by DWA s Water Services Unit in a number of Municipalities. The study has shown that the average water losses in Municipalities which were surveyed is between 18% and 58.6%, with annual losses of up to 69% recorded in Emfuleni Municipality. DWA has commissioned a follow-up study to understand the factors leading to such high water losses. On the 17th March 2008, The South African Minister of Water Affairs send a strong message on the need to conserve water. She further emphasized that Water Conservation and Water Demand Management (WC/WDM) are gaining increasing importance in DWA. The DWA s commitment to WC/WDM is supported by the initiatives rolling-out a pilot programme in 2007 in eight Municipalities. The Pilot Programme was aimed at reducing water losses, estimated at 29%, to 15%. The National Department of Water Affairs has developed a multi-sectoral WC/WDM strategy. One of the sectors that the strategy focuses on is Local Authorities (Domestic Use). South Africa has about 284 Local Authorities which were created through the Municipal Demarcation Act No.27 of 1998 (DWAF, 2007). This includes six (6) metropolitan munic i pa lit ies, f o r t y- seven (47) District Municipalities and two hundred and thirty-one (231) Local Municipalities. All these Municipalities have to formulate WC/WDM strategy that could assist them in addressing water losses/wastages and also ensure efficient management of their water services infrastructure. It is with above in mind, that the Department of Water Affairs has appointed a Specialist Consultant to draft a comprehensive Water Demand Management Strategy.
4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY South Africa is a water scarce country and Stellenbosch Municipality is no exception. It is therefore imperative that the municipality has a Water Conservation and Water Demand Management (WC/WDM) Strategy that is realistic, economical and implementable The Strategy assumes that WC/WDM needs to become a management paradigm based on the following principles: a) Water Institutions should endeavour to supply water in an efficient and effective manner minimising water losses and promoting WC/WDM to their consumers. b) Consumers should not waste water and should endeavour to use water efficiently. c) WC/WDM must be considered as part of the Water Resources and Water Services planning process The following elements contained in this Strategy will ensure that it is implemented: A framework within which action can be taken. A continuous improvement philosophy where ongoing planning, implementation, evaluation and corrective action is taken. An analysis and assessment of all aspects of water demand for the municipality and where savings can be achieved. The inclusion of enabling objectives and programs, not just implementation objectives. Comprehensive enabling objectives which include such critical aspects without which implementation cannot happen e.g. how to finance and capacitate (internal human resources and outsourcing/contracting) the strategy and budgets attached to each program. Monitoring objectives that enable the evaluation of progress and improvements t o the strategy to be made. The strategy will ensure long term economic, financial, social and environmental benefits.
5 The continuous improvement framework is shown in Figure E1 below: Fig E1: Continuous Improvement Framework As the municipality goes through the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) cycle on an annual basis there is the expectation that the knowledge of where and how to achieve water savings will improve. The goal is for the municipality to adopt WC&WDM as a key Water Services Strategy, with sub- goals of: give priority to its implementation and ensure enabling environment with adequate ongoing planning, management, monitoring and corrective action. The Framework of Action for the Strategy is depicted in Figure E2:

7 The f r a m e w o r k highlights which sphere (Water Services Authority, Water R e s o u r c e s, Municipal water network and customer category) the objective impacts. Under each objective there are a number of programs which contribute to the achievement of the objective. The water savings potential has been analysed and calculated and is shown in Figure E3 below: Fig E3: Stellenbosch Municipality total water savings potential The potential water savings has been allocated to each objective and program and then allocated to a particular year based on the strategy. This is depicted in Table E1. The budgets in Table E2 and Table E3 depict the projected amount to be spent each year to achieve the objectives. The costing and resultant budgets are based on a number of assumptions. The budgets should therefore be used as a guideline and reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
