However, the committee warned that these efforts are being undermined by weak municipal infrastructure, which prevents water from reaching end users. “There must be end-to-end collaboration across the value chain. Investment at bulk level alone is not sufficient if municipal systems are failing,” the committee emphasised.
The committee applauded Rand Water for its strong investment in infrastructure, noting that the entity spent 130% of its capital expenditure budget and 124.8% on repairs and maintenance. This level of investment, the committee said, should be replicated across the water value chain to reduce water losses and protect revenue.
Across all engagements, the committee raised serious concerns about the escalating municipal debt owed to water boards, warning that it poses a systemic risk to the sector. Rand Water alone is owed approximately R5.32 billion by municipalities.
