  26. THE ACCELERATED COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAMME (ACIP) IN ADDRESSING INTRODUCTION: ACIP was established and funded by DWA, as a rapid intervention programme with the purpose of accelerating service delivery and ensuring the achievement of universal access to water and sanitation by 2014. The Programme focuses on: Community Infrastructure Water Supply – areas exposed to cholera, water service backlogs, fund shortage and low Blue Drop scores; Water Conservation and Demand Management – areas with high water loss and heightened awareness; and Waster Water Infrastructure Refurbishment Projects – facilities exceeding effluent quality limits, failures exceeding hydraulic capacity; areas prone to spillages.

  27. “Hotspots”: Wastewater Treatment Works : Performance Rating • Combined Rating of: • capacity exceedance • effluent compliance • skills deficit • delivery & functionality 14% good/excellent 56% very poor / critical Total WWTW = 1155 821 municipal works 28

  28. PROGRESS TO DATE 23 Community Infrastructure Water Supply projects – R145 million spent; 22 Water Conversation and Demand Management projects – R153 million spent; and 58 Wastewater Infrastructure Refurbishment projects - R315 million.

  33. “Hotspots”: Ministerial Priorities

  34. Rapid Response Unit (RRU) Key Achievements RRU has been active in all 9 Provinces, focusing on operation and maintenance issues within municipalities. I t has been instrumental in dealing with “crisis” incidents at municipal level Assistance to municipalities with poor Blue Drop and Green Drop results, in particular those with below 30% scores. Business Plans developed – Wastewater Works Refurbishment; - 24 implemented and 17 about to start. 5 Wastewater Risk Abatement Plans developed; 7 Water Safety Plans developed. Non Revenue Water baseline studies and business plans completed in a number of municipalities – 18 Water Conservation and Demand Management strategies developed.

  35. RRU Key Achievements cont’d RRU intervention has ameliorated major environmental impacts in the Knysna Lagoon and the Breede River. Assistance provided to address issues such as water quality, wastewater and abattoir effluent problems, review of designs, etc.
