Revised tariff

structure

Sustainable delivery of water services requires substantial ongoing capital investment, and monthly tariffs that reflect the real cost of service delivery Further development of a comprehensive new tariff structure, to take effect from 1 July 2008 when the new Social Package is introduced.

A number of options exist at present which are environmentally

they are acceptable to users, they will fail. The challenge is finding or developing systems

which combine environmental

To be done in 07/08

Initial work on

the development of a strategy

will begin in

2007/08.

Excessive phosphate levels raise the cost of wastewater treatment and drive damaging algal blooms and eutrophication which choke river systems and can kill aquatic life. Strategies are needed to incentivise reduced use of phosphates

Conclusions

• The attainment of the water and energy sector objectives is largely determined by the constraints experienced in the housing delivery programmes

• The attainment of a clean city objective will be determined by a successful implementation of a PIKITUP turnaround strategy and increased by-law enforcement

• The focus for the remainder of the FY and 2007/08 will be on delivering innovative solutions to improve service delivery and backlog eradication

• The sectors are best positioned to make a positive contributions to govt. wide objectives of poverty alleviation, job creation and skills development
