Presentation Outline

Purpose of the Grant1. NT / DWA initiated RBIG in 2007

2. The main purpose of RBIG is to supplement the financing for the development of regional bulk water and sanitation infrastructure

3. Fund aims to support Government’s development targets (e.g. eradication of basic water services) as well as socio economic priorities, enablement of growth and development initiatives as well as addressing specific water risks

4. Although the project scope was originally Regional. The scope was expanded from the beginning to include large internal bulk.

Responsibility: DWA is responsible and accountable for the management of this specific-purpose Water Services Regional Bulk Infrastructure Grant. (Schedule 7: Grant in Kind)

Accountability: The transfer from National Treasury to DWA will take place as per DoRA and bi-lateral arrangements.

Co-funding: While this fund must enable economic development, the proportional capital cost for higher levels of domestic, commercial and industrial uses must be obtained from suitable co-funding or financing mechanisms

BRIEF HISTORY OF POSSIBLE ORP SCHEME FOR UPPER SUNDAYS RIVER

•First mooted as an irrigation scheme for Upper/Middle reaches of the Sundays River in

White Paper X-’62

•Irrigation water was to be delivered from Teebus via Wapadsberg route to Sundays

River at Graaff-Reinet

•Scheme for Upper/Middle Sundays River irrigation (about 13 700 ha) has always proved

too expensive even with enormous subsidies and writing off of capital cost. There are

other fatal flaws too.

•Upper Sundays Scheme thus removed from ORP in WP N-’71, which is a revision of WP

X-’62.

•On request of WSAs a Regional ORP scheme to supply only domestic water (and small

foodplots) was investigated by the DWA in 2005

•Investigations showed that the Regional ORP scheme for domestic water only was also

excessively expensive. 33 variations / options / schemes were considered.
