The Master Plan is updated quarterly to reflect new influences from both the private and public sector as well as political decisions. Development of infrastructure is scheduled within budget constraint to ensure adequate capacity at any time. Bulk infrastructure required for new developments are at least partly funded by services contributions from the developer. 8 4

5 Overall Backlog Eradication Strategy 1. Firstly provide sufficient capacity in bulk services to enable In situ upgrade of water and sanitation in formalised areas Water and sanitation services in new Housing developments 2. Provide water and sanitation services for in situ formalised areas Full service water with metered connections Waterborne sanitation and toilets per stand 3. Provide free interim basic services on application until sufficient funding is available to provide full services for in situ formalised areas Free Basic water: Standpipes no more than 200m from any house Free Basic sanitation: UDS toilet per stand 4. Provide rudimentary services for informal areas until relocation is possible when in situ upgrade is not feasible SERVICES BACKLOG versus HOUSING BACKLOG Services Backlog SERVICES BACKLOG is a backlog of inadequate water and sanitation services for in situ formalisable areas (mainly in Winterveld, Kudube, Stinkwater and New Eersterust). Eradication is addressed by the Water and Sanitation Division of the Services Infrastructure Department. Water and sanitation services only are provided. Eradication projects are funded from the City of Tshwane budget Housing Backlog HOUSING BACKLOG is a backlog of inadequate housing, including services in informal areas. Eradication is addressed by the Housing and Sustainable Human Settlement Development Department. Full services as well as houses are provided. Eradication projects are usually funded from housing subsidies and do not impact onthecityoftshwanebudget. 5

9 Informal Areas Formalisation Program* The City of Tshwane has approximately households residing in informal settlements. Of the 65 informal settlements in 2006, the City has to date formalized 33 informal settlements. Informal settlements unsuitable for in situ formalisation are commonly located on: Land that is not developable such as on dolomitic soil conditions, road and rail reserves, flood plains and environmentally sensitive or dangerous areas. Private or public land which is developable but where funds are not available and/or inadequate for immediate development or resettlement. The residents of informal settlements unsuitable for in situ formalisation are destined to be relocated to new fully serviced developments. *Information supplied by Housing and Sustainable Human Settlement Development Department 17 Interim services for informal areas that are to be re-developed or where the occupants are to be relocated to new Housing developments Services to be provided are temporary. Service levels may be lower than the National Basic targets. Water Rudimentary Tanks or standpipes at no more than 500m from any dwelling Sanitation Rudimentary Unimproved pit latrine/chemical toilet: communal or per stand 9

11 Constraints & Challenges The main constraints to the provision of waterborne sanitation are: Provision of bulk services Long lead times for new Treatment Works Un-controlled densification Insufficient funding. Challenges: Community demands (often unreasonable) Poorly skilled main and sub-contractors Cumbersome unavoidable compulsory MFMA procedures On-site sanitation implementation needs close community participation which is a time-consuming process Thank You 11
