Chapter| Introduction and Strategy2.2 Operating EnvironmentThe changes in the operating environment and specifically the expectations of the Executive Authority, theMinister of <strong>Water</strong> and Environmental Affairs, Edna Molewa, have informed <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>’s development of thisFive-Year Business Plan.The Executive Authority’s expectations are implicitly and explicitly reflected in the following pronouncements:2.2.1 The February 2011 State of the Nation Address, where President Jacob Zumareiterated:• Government’s continued commitment to building a developmental state for which the five keypriority areas are job creation, education, health, rural development and land reform, and fightingcrime.• Job creation through meaningful economic transformation and inclusive growth was particularlyemphasised. A New Growth Path has been introduced that will guide government’s work inachieving its goals. Every sector and business entity is urged to focus on job creation. Allgovernment departments will align their programmes with the job creation imperative.• Six priority areas have been identified for job creation: infrastructure development, agriculture,mining and beneficiation, manufacturing, the green economy and tourism.• Government has established a jobs fund of 9 billion rand over the next three years to finance new jobcreationinitiatives.• Progress made with service delivery includes provision of basic water supply access to an additional400,000 people in 2010.• This year government will spend 2,6 billion rand on water services. Among the priority areas are theprovinces of Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape where there are still large numbers ofpeople without safe drinking water.• Government will develop infrastructure that will boost the agricultural sector, including rehabilitationof water reservoirs. These projects will enhance food security and create work opportunities formany, especially women in rural areas.• The job creation drive will further enhance youth development.2.2.2 The February 2011 Budget, where Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, indicated that:• The Budget sets out the financial framework for implementing government’s vision of creating jobs,reducing poverty, building infrastructure and expanding the country’s economy.• The New Growth Path outlines government’s approach to accelerating growth and employment,focusing on several key drivers: Continuing and broadening public investment in infrastructure;Targeting more labour-absorbing activities in the agricultural and mining value chains,manufacturing, construction and services; Promoting innovation through “green economy”initiatives; and Supporting rural development and regional integration.• Regarding economic growth and expectations, the domestic economy grew by 2.8 per cent in 2010.Real GDP growth is projected to reach 3.4 per cent in 2011, 4.1 per cent in 2012 and 4.4 per cent in2013.• Inflation is forecast to remain within the target range of 3 – 6 per cent, edging towards the upper endof the range in 2013 as the economy strengthens. Increasing food and oil prices represent risks to theinflation outlook.• Public sector investment remains the cornerstone of government’s strategy to support sustainableeconomic growth. Over 800 billion rand is projected to be spent over the MTEF period.Page 6 <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016


| Introduction and Strategy Chapter2.2.3 State of <strong>Water</strong> Access in KZN (KZN CoGTA, December 2010)• 400,000 households in KZN do not have access to water, requiring a 400% increase in the rate ofwater services delivery to meet the 2014 targets.• Factors compounding the water backlog include cost escalations in operation and maintenance andthe effect of ageing infrastructure.• There is lack of cohesion among water sector stakeholders, which has resulted in fragmentedplanning, and contributes to lack of alignment between bulk water infrastructure planning andeconomic development goals of the province.• KZN does not have a single plan that enjoys ownership by all water sector stakeholders with cleardistinction of roles and functions, strategic objectives and implementation framework. <strong>Water</strong>provision is impeded by disintegrated planning, the absence of coordination, poor institutionalcapacity, financial/funding shortfalls and sustainability constraints.• The demand for an increased rate in water service delivery to 2014 requires strategic responses and aclear implementation plan which will be provincially coordinated in accordance with outcome 9.• In 2009, CoGTA developed four new municipal classification systems, based on indicators offunctionality, socio-economic profile and backlog status: class 1 - most vulnerable, class 2 - secondmost vulnerable, class 3 -second highest performing, and class 4 - highest performing.• In this regard: fifty-seven (57) municipalities were classified as vulnerable in South Africa, twenty-four(24) of which are in KZN, and nine (9) of which are in <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>’s supply area (Table 2.1).Table 2.1: Municipalities Classified as Vulnerable in <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Supply Area.District MunicipalityLocal Municipalities Classified as VulnerableUgu DMuMgungundlovu DMiLembe DMSisonke DMVulamehlo LM, Umzumbe LM, uMuziwabantu LM, Ezinqolweni LMImpendle LMNdwedwe LM, Maphumulo LMIngwe LM, Umzimkhulu LM2.2.4 Strategic Objectives for <strong>Water</strong> in KZN (KZN CoGTA, January 2011)• Arising out of its December 2010 <strong>Water</strong> Summit, KZN CoGTA identified twelve (12) strategicobjectives for water in terms of its five priority areas of planning, capacity, sustainability, funding andinstitutional:• Priority Area 1: Planning, comprising the following four objectives: To develop a single water sector plan for the province of KZN (which includes establishment of aKZN <strong>Water</strong> and Energy Forum). To coordinate the planning activities of all water sector stakeholders. To align the policy environment with the requirement of a single provincial plan. To ensure that provision has been made to accommodate the impact of climate change in theplanning process.• Priority Area 2: Capacity, comprising the following three objectives To strengthen water sector institutions and to develop the institutional and technical capacities. To improve capacity of provincial water sector stakeholders and raise necessary funding (whichincludes development of comprehensive funding/financial model and funding plans aligned to theMunicipal Turn Around Strategies). To regulate capacity requirements and to ensure compliance.• Priority Area 3: Sustainability, comprising the following two objectives To maximise sustainability through catchment protection, water security and equity betweenenvironmental and livelihood production requirements. To ensure provision for FBWS has been made in sustainability programmes.<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016 Page 7


Chapter| Introduction and Strategy• Priority Area 4: Funding, comprising the following objective To mobilise funding to address backlogs within the performance timeframe.• Priority Area 5: Institutional, comprising the following two objectives To produce a single provincial institutional framework for the water sector (i.e. to establish asingle provincial water board). To review the current institutional policy environment in order to establish institutions bestplaced to deliver on the performance targets (i.e. to review the current institutional frameworkpowers and functions).2.2.5 Government Outcomes and the Executive Authority, the Minister of <strong>Water</strong> andEnvironmental Affairs, Edna Molewa’s Response (December 2010)• Government has agreed on twelve (12) strategic outcomes to focus its work to 2014: Outcome 1 (Education) “Quality of our basic education” Outcome 2 (Health) “A long and healthy life for all South Africans” Outcome 3 (Security) “All people in South Africa are, and feel safe” Outcome 4 (Employment) “Decent employment through inclusive economic growth” Outcome 5 (Skills) “Skilled and capable workforce to support an inclusive growth plan” Outcome 6 (Infrastructure) “An efficient, competitive and responsive infrastructure network” Outcome 7 (Rural Development) “Vibrant, equitable, sustainable rural communities,contributing towards food security for all” Outcome 8 (Human Settlement) “Sustainable human settlements and improved quality ofhousehold life” Outcome 9 (Local Government) “Responsive, accountable, effective and efficient localgovernment system” Outcome 10 (Environment) “Protect and enhance our environmental assets and naturalresources” Outcome 11 (International) “Create a better South Africa, a better Africa and a better world” Outcome 12 (Public Service) “An efficient, effective and development oriented public serviceand an empowered, fair and inclusive citizenship”• Each outcome has a delivery agreement with the pertinent sphere of government, which whencombined; reflect government’s delivery and implementation plans for the country’s foremostpriorities to 2014.• In respect of this, the Executive Authority, the Minister of <strong>Water</strong> and Environmental Affairs, hasidentified ultimate responsibility to fulfil nine water related outputs of six identified outcomes asshown in Table 2.2.Table 2.2: Executive Authority’s response to the twelve government outcomes, showing six identified outcomesand nine water-related outputs.Selected Outcomes of GovernmentOutcome 10 (Environment) “Protect and enhance ourenvironmental assets and natural resources”Outcome 6 (Infrastructure ) “An efficient, competitiveand responsive infrastructure network”Outcome 7 (Rural Development) “Vibrant, equitable,sustainable rural communities, contributing towardsfood security for all”Page 8 <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016Contribution by Executive Authority to Specific OutputsExecutive Authority will LeadOutput 1: Enhanced quantity and quality of our water resources.Executive Authority will LeadOutput 4: Maintenance and supply availability of our bulk waterinfrastructure.Executive Authority will Contribute toOutput 1: Sustainable agrarian reform andOutput 3: Access to rural services.

| <strong>Water</strong> Resources Chapter7.2 <strong>Water</strong> Quality of Raw <strong>Water</strong>The status of raw water quality and problem per supply source/catchment are presented in Table 7.2. The rawwater quality status of each source/catchment is determined by comparing key determinands against <strong>Water</strong>Resource Quality Objectives developed for each water supply catchment.Potential water quality risks associated with <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> raw water supplies include: eutrophication (nutrientenrichment and its associated threats including algal blooms, taste and odour problems and aquatic weedinfestation), faecal contamination and associated pathogen risks, suspended solids, and chemical constituents(including iron and manganese). This in turn has the potential to impact on treatability, chemical usage andassociated treatment cost.DWA is kept continuously apprised of the quality and risks associated with the source water and needs to morevigorously regulate catchment practices and waste discharges, to continue to ensure the long-term sustainabilityof these water resources.Table 7.2: <strong>Water</strong> Quality of Raw <strong>Water</strong>System Catchment Impoundment <strong>Water</strong> Quality status Description of Raw <strong>Water</strong> Quality ProblemMar-2009 Mar-2010 Mar-2011Mooi, Mgeni Mearns Weir, Good Good Good Eutrophication with occasional high algalMidmar Damcount.Occasional high iron concentrations.MgeniAlbert Falls Good Good Good Eutrophication with occasional high algalDam, Naglecount.DamMgeni Inanda Dam Moderate Moderate Moderate Eutrophication with very high algal count.Microcystis is the dominant algal species withlarge amounts of the toxin microcystin presentat all abstraction levels and in the raw waterinflow to the Wiggins <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works,when the algal count was very high.MdlotiHazelmere Moderate Moderate Moderate Eutrophication at the dam.DamHigh turbidity and elevated iron concentrationsat all water treatment abstraction levels.MgeniNorth CoastSouth CoastOtherNungwane,LovuNungwaneDamModerate Moderate Moderate Increased iron and manganese in the raw watersupply system.Mzimayi E J Smith Dam Poor Poor Poor High algal count and high organic carbonconcentrations.High manganese concentrations.High E. coli counts.Mzinto Umzinto Dam Poor Poor Poor High algal count and high organic carbonconcentrations, andHigh manganese concentrations in the rawwater supply system.Mthwalume RiverAbstractionModerate Moderate Moderate High E.coli.High algal count.Elevated iron and manganese concentrations.Ixopo,Ixopo Dam Moderate Moderate Poor High turbidity.MkomaziHigh iron and manganese concentrations.High conductivity.High organic carbon, exacerbated by the lowdam water levels in 2010.<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016 Page 31

7.4 <strong>Water</strong> Demands, Planned Developments and Shortfalls| <strong>Water</strong> Resources Chapter<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>’s bulk water sales have slowed considerably over the past seven months with minimal to zerogrowth expected in the short-term. This can largely be attributed to the impact of the eThekwiniMetropolitan Municipality’s water demand management initiatives coupled with a slower than expectedgrowth in the same region. Growth in water sales is expected to increase in the medium to long-term, as theeconomy continues to recover from the last recession, and with government stimulation to grow theeconomy.<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>, as a bulk water services provider, requires sustainable and cost-effective water resources to meetits customer’s demands. In view of the significant lead times required to plan, design, construct and commissionmajor water resource development projects, future medium to long-term water resources from the Department of<strong>Water</strong> Affairs (DWA), as the custodian of the country’s water resources, have to be secured in a timely manner.DWA has to date undertaken regional water resource development investigations within <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>’s area ofoperation in close collaboration with <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> and its major customers. A number of these studies were cofundedby <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>. The status of water demand within <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>’s area of supply, however,requires several of these water resource investigations to be completed as a matter of urgency.

Chapter| <strong>Water</strong> Resources7.4.1 Mgeni System: Planned Developments and ShortfallsPhase 2 of the Mooi-Mgeni Transfer Scheme: Spring Grove DamThe Mooi-Mgeni River Transfer Scheme (MMTS) was intended for phased implementation in accordance withgrowth needs. Phase 1 of this scheme (MMTS-1) was commissioned in 2003 and comprised the new Mearns Weiron the Mooi River, the raising of Midmar Dam, the provision of a standby pump for the existing Mearn’s PumpingStation and the registration of a servitude of aqueduct along sections of the Mpofana, Lions and Mgeni rivers.Phase 2 of this scheme (MMTS-2) comprises the proposed Spring Grove Dam (full supply capacity of 141.6 millioncubic metres) on the Mooi River, a new pumping station at Spring Grove Dam and a new pipeline to transfer waterdirectly into the Mpofana River, which is within the Mgeni catchment. The overall transfer capacity of the MMTSwill then be increased to its ultimate rate of 4.5 cubic metres per second.Over the past few years water demands from the Mgeni System have continued to grow, with this past financialyear showing a decreased growth rate from the previous year (refer to Figure 7.1). The current financial year isexpected to show a further decline in growth rate with an increase in the years thereafter. Figure 7.1 indicates thatdemands have already exceeded the 99% assurance of supply level that will be achieved with the commissioningof MMTS-2, and even further augmentation of the Mgeni System is already needed.At the end of 2007 the Minister of <strong>Water</strong> and Environmental Affairs instructed the Trans-Caledon-Tunnel-Authority (TCTA) to implement the MMTS-2 project as quickly as possible in order to augment the existing systemand reduce the risk of possible future restrictions. Construction of the dam is scheduled to begin in the first half of2011. At this stage construction is scheduled to be completed in September 2012 with the first water delivered inApril 2013. However, the construction of water supply pipeline from the dam, which will maximise the transfercapacity from the dam, has been delayed due to an appeal against the environmental record of decision. It appearsthat the completion of this pipeline is now likely to only occur a year or two after the dam completion.Phase 1 of the Mkomazi <strong>Water</strong> Project: Smithfield DamIt is evident from current and projected water demand trends (refer to Figure 7.1), that the planning of the nextmajor water resource development, the Mkomazi <strong>Water</strong> Project, to support the Mgeni system urgently needs tobe brought to a stage of implementation. Without this augmentation of the Mgeni system, <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> will beunable to ensure that future water demands can be met timeously and at the appropriate level of assurance.Therefore, there is now a need for DWA to move beyond the findings of the 1998 pre-feasibility study of thisscheme and initiate a detailed feasibility level investigation into this augmentation option.It is anticipated that DWA will initiate a detailed feasibility investigation of the raw water component of thisscheme during the first half of 2011. <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> has undertaken to complete concurrent detailed feasibilitylevel investigations into the associated potable water component. It is envisaged that these investigations willproceed simultaneously and in an integrated manner, and the environmental impact assessment of the entireproject conducted as a single co-funded investigation.Page 34 <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016

The long-term solution that has been proposed by <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> for this region is toextend the existing Wartburg pipeline to also serve this region. However, current levels of water demand in thearea do no yet warrant the implementation of this project, and a medium to long-term solution has beendeveloped.The proposed Ozwathini Bulk <strong>Water</strong> Supply Scheme project is located in the uMgungundlovu and iLembe DistrictMunicipalities. The scheme will consist of a 5.5 million cubic metre dam on the Sikoto River (a tributary of theMvoti River), a raw water pump station and rising main to a 6,000 cubic metre per day water treatment works anda further pump station and rising main to supply potable water to the existing Nondobula Reservoir. Potablewater can be reticulated through existing networks to the various communities within Ozwathini.7.4.2 North Coast System: Planned Developments and Shortfalls<strong>Water</strong> demand in the North Coast region - the coastal strip between Veralum, to the north of Durban, and thetown of KwaDukuza - has risen over the past few years and is expected to continue to grow in the future (refer toFigure 7.2). The drop in demand for the 2008/2009 financial year was as a result of a load shift from theHazelmere <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works onto the Durban Heights <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works, and not due to a drop indemand in the North Coast area.DWA recently commissioned the KwaZulu-Natal Coastal Metropolitan Areas <strong>Water</strong> Reconciliation StrategyStudy, which amongst other things, considered strategies for augmenting the North Coast water supplies. Theaugmentation options included:• Raising of Hazelmere Dam,• Implementing the Lower Thukela Bulk <strong>Water</strong> Supply Scheme (BWSS), and• Building a new dam on the Mvoti River (either the Welverdient Dam or Isithundu Dam).<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016 Page 35


Chapter| <strong>Water</strong> ResourcesRaising of Hazelmere DamRaising the full supply level of Hazelmere Dam by seven metres to increase the firm yield of the resource toapproximately 27.3 million cubic metres per annum (at a 98 % level of assurance), is found to be the most costeffective and quickest option of augmenting the water supply to the North Coast region.The environmental record of decision for this project has already been issued. DWA is currently busy with theexpropriation and design procedures for this project, which needs to be completed by the beginning of the wetseason of 2012 to ensure that the additional water will be available early in 2013 when the upgrade to theassociated bulk water supply infrastructure is scheduled to be completed by <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>.Figure 7.2: Long-Term <strong>Water</strong> Demand Projection for the Hazelmere (Mdloti) SystemLong-Term <strong>Water</strong> Demand Projection for the Hazelmere SystemExisting Yield Available (no reserve)Raised Yield Available (no reserve)Actual UsageProjected Usage<strong>Water</strong> Demand (million cubic metres per annum)7060504030201001997/981999/002001/022003/042005/062007/082009/102011/122013/142015/162017/182019/202021/222023/242025/262027/282029/302031/322033/342035/36Lower Thukela Bulk <strong>Water</strong> Supply SchemeFollowing the raising of the Hazelmere Dam, the Lower Thukela Bulk <strong>Water</strong> Supply Scheme is the most practicaland cost-effective scheme to implement to supply additional water to the area. This scheme will be required toaugment the water supplies of the Mdloti System, as the raising of Hazelmere Dam on its own will not providesufficient resources to supply this area in the medium term. The Lower Thukela Bulk <strong>Water</strong> Supply Scheme willdraw water from the Thukela River and will not require raw water storage. <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> is in the process ofconcluding a detailed feasibility investigation and preliminary design of this scheme. Detailed design is expectedto commence later in 2011.Mvutshane DamCommunities in the largely rural areas inland from the North Coast region - areas bounded by the Thukela andMvoti rivers and extending from Greytown in the west to Maphumulo in the east - currently receive water fromboreholes or small stand-alone surface water supply schemes. Many communities in this area receive a sub-RDPstandard level of service.<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> has implemented the Ngcebo Bulk <strong>Water</strong> Supply Scheme that draws water from the Thukela Riverto supply potable water to some of these communities. Furthermore, <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> is in the process ofPage 36 <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016


| <strong>Water</strong> Resources Chapterconstructing Phase 1 of the Maphumulo Bulk <strong>Water</strong> Supply Scheme (BWSS) to supply the communities ofMaphumulo, Maqumbi and Ashville. This scheme will initially draw water directly from the Mvutshane River,which is a tributary of the Hlambitwa River, which in turn is a tributary of the Mvoti River. Phase 2 of this schemeentails the construction of a dam on the Mvutshane River to replace the run-of-river abstraction system. This willincrease the yield from the scheme and ensure a more sustainable supply. The detailed design of this dam iscurrently underway and construction is expected to commence in 2012. A possible later extension to this scheme isto augment the Mvutshane Dam from the Hlambitwa River.Upper Mvoti Bulk <strong>Water</strong> Supply Scheme: Mvoti-Poort DamIn the long-term the intention is to consolidate the various schemes in the area inland from the North Coast region(areas bounded by the uThukela and Mvoti rivers and extending from Greytown in the west to Maphumulo in theeast) ,as well as incorporate other communities that fall outside of the current supply areas. This can be achievedthrough the development of a regional bulk water supply scheme that is able to meet the potable water needs ofthe region on a long-term sustainable basis. This regional scheme will best be supported by a water resourcedevelopment on the upper Mvoti River. Investigations conducted by DWA in the past have shown that a smalldam at the previously identified Mvoti–Poort dam site would be a possible solution. <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> has thereforerequested DWA to undertake appropriate water resource investigations linked to developing a dam at the Mvoti-Poort site or at another suitable site in its vicinity. It is envisaged that the water resource development andtransfer infrastructure development investigations will proceed in a concurrent and integrated manner.Lower Mvoti Bulk <strong>Water</strong> Supply Scheme: Welverdient DamDWA and <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> conducted numerous water resource and supply infrastructure investigations of the lowerMvoti River catchment during the latter half of the 1990s. At the time, the proposed Isithundu Dam (serving bothirrigation and potable water demands) with a downstream abstraction works located near the town of KwaDukuzawas identified as being the preferred infrastructure development configuration. However, a number of criticalassumptions have since changed. Most significantly, legislative changes governing national raw water pricing hasled to the irrigation sector withdrawing from the proposed scheme on affordability grounds. The implication isthat storage options serving only the potable water sector now need to be considered.<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> has therefore requested DWA to urgently re-institute investigations to review the findings of theprevious investigations and develop detailed feasibility plans for the next phase of water resource augmentationfor the North Coast System – most likely to be the proposed Welverdient Dam option. <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> willundertake concurrent detailed feasibility level investigations into the associated bulk water transfer infrastructure.It is envisaged that both investigations will proceed simultaneously and in an integrated manner.7.4.3 South Coast System: Planned Developments and ShortfallsThe water resources that support the Middle South Coast area lack substantial storage capacity, making themespecially susceptible during periods of drought as witnessed during the latter part of 2010. While theinfrastructure linkages between the Umzinto, Mtwalume and Craigieburn water treatment works’ were able toalleviate localised supply shortages for short periods, they were not able to sustain supply over longer periods andwater restrictions were often required.Several localised solutions were investigated, including an assessment by DWA of the feasibility of a low-level weiron the Mtwalume River to improve abstractions at this point during low flow periods. These minor water resourcedevelopments only solve the problem in the short-term. As with the North Coast area, the Middle South Coastarea is experiencing strong growth in water demand, driven by economic growth in the region, and it is envisagedthat a major water resource development and/or inter-basin transfers will be required to provide a long-termsolution to water scarcity in the area.<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016 Page 37


Chapter| <strong>Water</strong> ResourcesLower Mkomazi Bulk <strong>Water</strong> Supply Scheme<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> has commissioned Phase 1 of its South Coast Pipeline that transfers potable water from the MgeniSystem to the Upper and Middle South Coast areas. It is recognised that the Mgeni System has insufficientresources to support this region in the medium to long-term and that a local sustainable long-term scheme needsto be developed to replace it. The Mkomazi River is best suited for this purpose. <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> intends initiating adetailed feasibility investigation of the Lower Mkomazi Bulk <strong>Water</strong> Supply scheme, which will abstract water fromthe lower reaches of the Mkomazi River for treatment to feed into the South Coast Pipeline.The availability of a local sustainable source will then allow the extension of this pipeline (Phase 2) furthersouthwards to increase the area of supply and enable a linkage to other supply systems in the south. It is unknownat this stage whether storage will be required. The initiation of this investigation can only proceed once the resultsfrom the hydrological study that forms part of DWA’s Mkomazi <strong>Water</strong> Project Detailed Feasibility Study areavailable.Mhlabatshane Bulk <strong>Water</strong> Supply Scheme<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> is currently constructing the Mhlabatshane Bulk <strong>Water</strong> Supply Scheme as part of a larger regionalscheme development by Ugu District Municipality aimed at reducing water services backlogs in certain rural areasin the Mzumbe and Hibiscus Coast Local Municipalities. This scheme is situated within the Lower South Coast Sub-Region. Ugu District Municipality is responsible for the reticulation component of the scheme, which in itsentirety, is planned to serve an estimated 101,000 people (approximately 15,300 households) of which about halfare currently classified as having a water service backlog.The bulk component of the scheme will initially comprise of a dam on the Mhlabatshane River (a tributary of theMzumbe River), from where water will be pumped to a water treatment works situated in close proximity to thecommand reservoir. Potable water will then be supplied to Ugu District Municipality from the command reservoirfor reticulation through an extensive gravity-fed network to the various communities in the area. Some of thereticulation component currently exists as stand-alone schemes, with the remainder still to be installed.When water demands from this scheme exceed the firm yield of the dam, the intention is to develop the secondphase of the project. <strong>Water</strong> will be abstracted directly from the Mzimkhulu River, pumped to the existing watertreatment works (which will need to be upgraded) and then fed into the reticulation system via the commandreservoir.7.4.4 Alternate Resource OptionsWastewater Reuse<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> is currently investigating the option of treating domestic sewage from its Darvill WastewaterTreatment Works to potable standards. The proposal is to return the treated water back into the distributionsystem at Umlaas Road. The water can then be used to augment the supply to the Western Aqueduct which willserve the high growth areas along the western corridor of the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality. Theadvantage of this is that water is made available higher up in the system and can therefore be supplied usinggravity.Seawater Desalination<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> has recently completed a large-scale desalination pre-feasibility study. The objective of this studywas to investigate the viability of constructing a large scale desalination plant in the eThekwini area as a possiblealternative to the proposed Mkomazi <strong>Water</strong> Project.A detailed feasibility study has now been initiated by <strong>Umgeni</strong> water with a revised approach. The detailedfeasibility investigation is considering the option of a 150,000 cubic metres per day plant on both the North CoastPage 38 <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016

Chapter| Bulk Potable <strong>Water</strong> Supply PlanFurthermore, condition assessments of the various components (i.e. mechanical, electrical, civil, and instruments)of the assets are carried out using a ranking system to grade the condition of assets.As a result of these programmes, the condition status of water and wastewater treatment works has beenestablished.The asset management policy is used to set the appropriate lives of the assets. Unless the level of service orperformance of the system require otherwise, the policy of <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> at present is to replace the assets whenthe asset has deteriorated to a level that is unserviceable. Identifying this moment and the associated failure modeof the asset is critical to both maintenance and strategic decision making for the assets.Based on the condition status of <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>’s infrastructure, there is comfort that there would be no majorinterruptions to the business of <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> for the next five years and beyond.8.3 <strong>Water</strong> Quality Produced (relative to SANS 241)All major water treatment works achieved 100% compliance with physical, chemical and microbiologicalrequirements in the previous year (Table 8.2).Table 8.2: Potable <strong>Water</strong> Quality Compliance with SANS 241:2006 per <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works at 30 June 2010.<strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works Per cent Total TreatedPer cent Compliance with SANS 241:2006VolumeChemicalMicrobiologicalDurban Heights 43.2 100.0 100.0Wiggins 23.0 100.0 100.0Midmar 19.9 100.0 100.0DV Harris 5.2 100.0 100.0Hazelmere 3.5 100.0 100.0Amanzimtoti 1.4 100.0 100.0Mvoti 1.0 99.1 100.0Mzinto 0.9 100.0 98.1Mtwalume 0.8 100.0 100.0Ixopo 0.2 100.0 100.0Ogunjini 0.1 100.0 100.0For works experiencing compliance problems due to infrastructure constraints, <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> will assure productquality through identified infrastructure maintenance, upgrade, and refurbishment or development plans, asdescribed further in this chapter.

Chapter| Bulk Potable <strong>Water</strong> Supply Plan<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Short-Term Bulk Sales ForecastThe projected sales volumes are shown in Figure 8.4. In September 2010 the short-term bulk water sales forecastfor 2010/2011 was revised downward from 1 167 million cubic metres per day to 1 136 million cubic metres per day(Figure 8.4) based on recent discussions with major customers and on the developing trend in the organisation’sbulk water sales. This value is a consolidation of individual customer forecasts and is primarily shaped by theforecast provided by <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>’s major customer, eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality. The forecastrepresents a negative year-on-year growth of 2.65 %, which is a significant change from the positive growth of2.38 % that was achieved in the previous year. A smaller negative growth of 0.16% is forecast for 2011/2012 toreach a sales volume of 1 134 million cubic metres per day. This value is again primarily determined by the forecastprovided by eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality.<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Long-Term Bulk Sales ForecastThe 30-year long term sales forecast for <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>’s entire supply area has been developed using long-termgrowth rates agreed upon between <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> and its major customers. The base projection was developedfrom the short-term forecasts and then extended at a compounded 1.5% growth rate until 2040/2041. This growthrate is considered acceptable for this long-term forecast as it closely matches the forecast that was independentlyderived as part of the “<strong>Water</strong> Reconciliation Strategy Study for the KwaZulu-Natal Coastal Metropolitan Areas”completed by the Department of <strong>Water</strong> Affairs, using a population projection technique.Figure 8.5 depicts this long-term sales projection together with 1 % and 2 % growth rate scenarios for comparison.The drop in sales in 2016/2017 and 2017/2018, as shown in Figure 8.5, is as a result of the anticipatedcommissioning by eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality of its Northern and KwaMashu wastewater re-use plantswhich are planned to produce 51 000 cubic metres per day and 65 000 cubic metres per day respectively. Theseplants intend to feed potable water directly into the municipality’s bulk supply network, thereby reducing therequirement from <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>.The long-term sales projections, present an average view and fluctuations around the mean values can besubstantial, giving rise to localised infrastructure or water resources constraints. Sales are monitored on a regularbasis to assess actual demand patterns.Page 44 <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016

Chapter| Bulk Potable <strong>Water</strong> Supply PlaneThekwini Metropolitan Municipality: Short-Term Bulk Sales ForecastIn 2008 and 2009 the year-on-year growth in sales to eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality increased by as muchas 5%. This growth has reduced to approximately 1% over the past year and the reduction in growth has beenmainly attributed to the municipality’s water demand management initiatives.The eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality is currently implementing an intensive water demand managementprogramme, which includes pressure management and active leakage control, in order to reduce its non-revenuewater. This programme has started to have a marked impact on its water purchases from <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>, startingin the 2010/2011 financial year.Over the next two years growth is still expected to occur in the northern eThekwini area. This expected growth canbe ascribed to the proposed development of formal housing projects and to the industrial development of theDube Trade Port in the vicinity of the new King Shaka International Airport. The eThekwini MetropolitanMunicipality has, however, predicted that its continuing water demand management initiatives will completelyoffset the expected growth in the northern areas. It is anticipated that the water demand management initiativesin the supply area of the Durban Heights <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works and the Wiggins <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works willreduce demand. In addition, water demand management initiatives in both the supply areas of the Wiggins <strong>Water</strong>Treatment Works and the Umlaas Road supply area are expected to completely offset any potential growth indemand.While it is expected that substantial urban and peri-urban housing growth will continue to occur within theeThekwini area, the implementation programme is currently behind schedule. Therefore the current growth inwater sales in this area is lower than initially expected.Hence, the anticipated growth in bulk water sales to eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality for 2010/2011 and2011/2012 is -4.00 % and -1.04% respectively. This equates to approximately 864 000 cubic metres per day in2010/2011 and 855 000 cubic metres per day in 2011/2012 (refer to Figure 8.6). These forecast values are lowerthan the 0.7 % actual growth achieved by eThekwini in 2009/2010, and the 3.4 % achieved in 2008/2009.Msunduzi Local Municipality: Short-Term Bulk Sales ForecastFigure 8.7 shows the sales trends for the Msunduzi Local Municipality and projections for 2010/11 and 2011/12.The average daily sales, at 30 June 2010, amounted to approximately 160 000 cubic metres per day. Thisrepresents a 3.6% increase in sales from the 155 000 cubic metres per day sold in the previous year. Average dailysales to the Msunduzi Municipality are expected to grow to 164 000 cubic metres per day by 30 June 2011 and to168 000 cubic metres per day by 30 June 2012.uMgungundlovu District Municipality: Short-Term Bulk Sales ForecastThe sales to the uMgungundlovu District Municipality increased by 6% from 28 964 cubic metres per day to 30 737cubic metres per day in the previous financial year. This type of growth is not expected to be maintained for theshort-term forecast period. The sales for 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 are expected to be 30 871 cubic metres per dayand 32 156 cubic metres per day respectively.There are no water loss reduction initiatives currently being undertaken, or planned, that will reduce the growth inwater demand. The growth in water demand in Howick (Mngeni Local Municipality) will increase once thereticulation infrastructure is extended to support proposed new developments west of the N3 freeway. Newhousing developments are also proposed in the uMshwati Local Municipality however, the water demand in thisarea is constrained by the limited capacity of the existing <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> infrastructure to support furtherdevelopments.Page 46 <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016

Chapter| Bulk Potable <strong>Water</strong> Supply PlaniLembe District Municipality: Short-Term Bulk Sales ForecastSales to iLembe District Municipality can be described as follows:• Sales to the Coastal Area of iLembe through Siza <strong>Water</strong>.• Sales to the Coastal Area of iLembe through iLembe District Municipality.• Sales to iLembe District Municipality through schemes owned by the district municipality and managed by<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>.Urban and peri-urban growth across Siza <strong>Water</strong>’s concession area has caused a corresponding increase in waterdemand with the growth for 2009/2010 being 7.1%. Further developments in this area are expected to increase thedemand from 11 400 cubic metres per day to 12 100 cubic metres per day in 2010/2011 and 12 700 cubic metres perday in 2011/2012.The remaining water sales to iLembe District Municipality include:• approximately 8 000 cubic metres per day sales to the coastal areas from <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>’s Hazelmere <strong>Water</strong>Treatment Works;• 16 000 cubic metres per day sales to KwaDukuza (Stanger) from the Mvoti <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works. Thisplant is owned by iLembe District Municipality and operated by <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>; and• 8 000 cubic metres per day sales to 36 inland rural schemes owned by iLembe District Municipality andoperated by <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>.The iLembe District Municipality is implementing a number of water demand management initiatives within thetown of KwaDukuza (Stanger) and it estimates that savings from these initiatives will offset the growth in sales forthe area. The total sales growth to iLembe District Municipality, over the next two years, is therefore assumed tobe around a zero per cent.Ugu District Municipality: Short-Term Bulk Sales ForecastTotal sales to the Ugu District Municipality increased by 30.78% from 16 490 cubic metres in 2009 to 21 564 cubicmetres in 2010. This steep growth was due to the immediate uptake once the capacity of Mtwalume <strong>Water</strong>Treatment Works had been upgraded from 4 500 cubic metres per day to 7 500 cubic metres per day. This growthis not expected to be maintained within the short-term forecast period. The projected growth in sales is expectedto be relatively high, at 5.0% in 2010/2011 and in 2011/2012. This equates to total sales for 2011 and 2012 of 22 643and 23 775 cubic metres respectively.This expected growth is as a result of the Ugu District Municipality’s proposed initiatives towards the reduction ofbacklogs and the rapid growth in water sales in the inland rural areas of the municipality, specifically in the Ifafaand Mathulini areas. There are a number of water loss reduction initiatives currently planned in the <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>supply area within the Ugu District Municipality. These are due to be implemented within the next financial year.Sisonke District Municipality: Short-Term Bulk Sales ForecastThe Ixopo <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works, which is operated by <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> supplies the greater Ixopo area. Averagedaily sales from the <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works currently amount to 2 460 cubic metres per day, having increased at arate of 7% year-on-year. It is projected that sales from the <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works will remain at 2 460 cubicmetres per day in 2010/11 and grow to 2 510 cubic metres per day in 2011/12.Page 48 <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016


8.4.2 Bulk <strong>Water</strong> Supply Infrastructure Constraints and Requirements| Bulk Potable <strong>Water</strong> Supply Plan ChapterThis section describes the more significant constraints within <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>’s existing bulk supply infrastructureand the proposed infrastructure development plans to overcome these constraints and provide the additionalcapacity required for further expansion of the existing supply ‘footprint’ area. The proposed water supplyinfrastructure links directly to the proposed water resource infrastructure discussed in Chapter 7.Inland RegionOver recent years the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality has put considerable effort into optimising theoperation of its distribution systems that are served by the Lower Mgeni System. Amongst other things, this hasled to the municipality implementing new infrastructure in order to undertake a significant load shifting exercise.The municipality’s western aqueduct development, which is expected to be fully commissioned in mid-2013, willrepresent the most significant of these load-shifting operations. The intention is for those areas currently beingserved under pumping from the Lower Mgeni System (namely, from Durban Heights <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works) tobe transferred onto the Upper Mgeni System, to be served under gravity from Midmar <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works viathe western aqueduct. Further to this, eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality plans to link the western aqueduct toits northern aqueduct thereby extending this supply to the municipality’s northern areas as far as the Dube TradePort development zone. Whilst this measure will free up additional capacity within the Lower Mgeni System thatcan be redirected elsewhere within the Municipality, it places considerable additional load on much of <strong>Umgeni</strong><strong>Water</strong>’s infrastructure in the Upper Mgeni System, including the ’57, ’61 and ‘251 Pipeline systems, Midmar <strong>Water</strong>Treatment Works, and ultimately on the water resources available from Midmar Dam. The recent augmentation ofthe ’57 Pipeline by <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> was undertaken in order to provide sufficient capacity in this portion of thesupply network to meet the required demands of the western aqueduct.Once Phase 2 of the Mooi-Mgeni Transfer Scheme (MMTS-2) has been commissioned in 2013, the 99% assuredyield of the Mgeni System at Midmar Dam will increase from 322 500 cubic metres per day to 476 200 cubic metresper day. However, even an increased yield at Midmar Dam will be insufficient to support the imposition of theproposed full Western Aqueduct load shift for any significant period of time, and further water resourcedevelopments will be required. One water resource option that is to be investigated by DWA is the Mkomazi<strong>Water</strong> Project which would transfer raw water from the Mkomazi River to a <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works in theadjacent catchment, with potable water then being supplied to the Umlaas Road area to feed into the ’57 Pipelineand subsequently into the western aqueduct. The Mkomazi <strong>Water</strong> Project is currently only entering the detailedfeasibility investigation stage and therefore the very earliest that it is envisaged that the scheme could becompleted and operational is 2024. Refer to discussion in Chapter 7 of this Business Plan.With Midmar Dam’s yield then being fixed after MMTS-2, it is deemed prudent that all future bulk distributioninfrastructure upgrades within the Upper Mgeni System (Midmar <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works - Umlaas Road) belimited to the water resources capacity that Midmar Dam can support (bearing in mind that Midmar Dam mustalso contribute to the water resource requirements downstream of it). Hence, the water available to meetdemands downstream of Umlaas Road Reservoir is limited until such time as the Mkomazi <strong>Water</strong> Project iscommissioned. Further to this, the available water will decrease over time as the demands upstream of the UmlaasRoad Reservoir increase.In order to meet the anticipated load shift in demand by eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality from the LowerMgeni System to the Upper Mgeni System, the following <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> infrastructure projects will be required:• Upgrade of Midmar <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works;• Augmentation of the ’61 Pipeline from ED2 to Umlaas Road together with an upgrade of the Umlaas RoadReservoir.<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016 Page 49


Chapter| Bulk Potable <strong>Water</strong> Supply PlanOther major infrastructure augmentations that will be required over the next 30 years in the inland area to overcapacity constraints include:• Augment the ’69 Pipeline (Claridge to Wartburg) and increase the capacity of Wartburg Reservoir. TheWartburg Pump Station will also need to be upgraded;• Upgrade the Bruyns Hill Pumps Station, replace the pipeline from Bryns Hill Pump Station to the Bryns HillReservoir, and increase the capacity of the Bruyns Hill Reservoir.Central RegionDue to a water resource constraint at Nugwane Dam and the limited capacity of Amanzimtoti <strong>Water</strong> TreatmentWorks, it is necessary to augment the supply to areas downstream of the Amanzimtoti <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Workswith potable water from Wiggins <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works via the South Coast Augmentation Pipeline, until suchtime as a new regional bulk water supply system is developed on the lower reaches of the Mkomazi River (refer toChapter 7). In the interim, the Wiggins <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works sub-system should have sufficient treatment anddistribution capacity to meet the long-term demands of Amanzimtoti and the South Coast Pipeline.Hydraulic analysis has confirmed that the existing South Coast Augmentation Pipeline has adequate capacity tomeet current and projected demands up to the year 2020, provided that a new in-line booster pump station isinstalled along the South Coast Augmentation Pipeline to replace the existing Umlazi Pump Station. <strong>Umgeni</strong><strong>Water</strong> is in the process of constructing a new South Coast Augmentation Booster Pump Station to address thisconstraint. This will serve as a medium-term infrastructure development strategy to meet current and projecteddemands off the South Coast Augmentation Pipeline up to the year 2021.South Coast RegionThe main issue that needs to be addressed in this region is the continued reliance on the already stressed LowerMgeni System as the primary water source for this region, supplied from Inanda Dam via the Wiggins <strong>Water</strong>Treatment Works along the South Coast Augmentation Pipeline to the Amanzimtoti <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works.The Amanzimtoti <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works will need to continue to operate together with the South CoastAugmentation Pipeline in order to meet demands until a long-term solution is in place.Umzinto <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works has experienced significant changes in its year-on-year growth rates over thepast four years, with the year-on-year growth rate in June 2010 being in excess of 12.3% and then dropping to 1.3%by October 2010. This was attributed to the Middle South Coast Region experiencing very little rainfall. Theprevailing dry weather conditions throughout the area had a major impact on the storage levels of the Umzintoand the E J Smith dams.<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> is currently in the process of implementing Phase 2a of the South Coast Pipeline (SCP-2a), whichwill relieve the demand off Umzinto <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works by approximately 4 500 cubic metres per day. Thiswill allow the relieved capacity to be utilised for growth further inland. In addition, <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> is alsoimplementing a new link from Scottburgh South Reservoir, via Ellingham Reservoir, to Umzinto <strong>Water</strong> TreatmentWorks to mitigate the risk of non-supply during dry periods and to meet future increases in water demand fromthe Umzinto <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works. This project will provide an additional 4 500 cubic metres per day toaugment the supply from the Umzinto <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works.The demand in the area immediately south of Mtwalume, under the jurisdiction of Ugu District Municipality, hasrecently increased significantly. This has placed excessive stress on the Mtwalume <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works andsubsequently on the Umzinto <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works, which supplements the Mtwalume <strong>Water</strong> TreatmentWorks via the pipeline linking the Bazley Reservoir to the Elysium Reservoir supply zonePage 50 <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016


| Bulk Potable <strong>Water</strong> Supply Plan ChapterThe development plan for the Upper and Middle South Coast regions is outlined below. This plan utilises theavailable resources from the Lower Mgeni, Nungwane, Mkomazi, Mzimayi, Mzinto and Mtwalume systems in themost sustainable and cost effective manner.• <strong>Water</strong> from the South Coast Augmentation Pipeline is only expected to be available at theAmanzimoti <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works, in ever reducing amounts, until 2020. Therefore, theAmanzimtoti <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works will need to remain operational in the short to medium-term.• Complete the construction and commissioning of the South Coast Augmentation Booster PumpStation to ensure that the maximum capacity is achievable through the South Coast AugmentationPipeline .• Rehabilitation and/or replacement of the pipeline from Nungwane Dam to the Amanzimtoti <strong>Water</strong>Treatment Works will need to be undertaken.• The long-term strategy is to develop a regional bulk water supply scheme that will receive raw waterfrom the lower Mkomazi River for treatment and distribution into the South Coast Pipeline. Potablewater would be fed northwards to the Upper South Coast region and Amanzimtoti, and southwards tothe Middle South Coast region.• The South Coast Pipeline is to be extended southwards in two phases. The South Coast Pipeline Phase2a project (SCP-2a), is to be implemented towards the end of 2011. This project will provide somerelief for the Umzinto and Mtwalume <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Workss. The South Coast Phase 2b project willtie into the end of SCP-2a and will link to the Ugu District Municipality supply system from theMzimkhulu River to add a measure of flexibility and a contingency for drought situations in eithersystem. The timing of SCP-2b is dependent on the development of the regional BWS on the lowerMkomazi River.• The Umzinto <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works will continue to function in order to supply potable water tocommunities in the adjacent inland areas of Ugu District Municipality.• To augment the supply from Umzinto <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works, especially during low rainfall periodsas experienced during the period from March 2010 to October 2010, the supply to Umzinto <strong>Water</strong>Treatment Works must be supplemented from the South Coast pipeline via Scottburgh South andEllingham reservoirs.North Coast RegionThe primary source of potable water supplied to the North Coast Supply System (NCSS) is from the 45 000 cubicmetres per day Hazelmere <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works. With the current demand regularly exceeding the capacity ofthe plant, the operation of the plant is difficult and routine maintenance on components of the plant is nearimpossible. The comparatively high supply from the <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works when compared to the plant capacityand the expected increase in future demand has necessitated the upgrading the <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works from45 000 cubic metres per day to 75 000 cubic metres per day (98% assured yield of the raised Hazelmere Dam).The town of KwaDukuza is supplied from the Mvoti <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works via the Mvoti Balancing Reservoirs.The average demand placed on the <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works over the past year was 16 950 cubic metres per day.The design capacity of the <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works was 12 500 cubic metres per day.The strategic development 30-year plan for the region, that would utilise the available resources from theHazelmere, Thukela and Mvoti systems (as discussed in Chapter 7) in the most sustainable and cost effectivemanner, is presented below.• DWA to raise the full supply level of Hazelmere Dam to increase its firm yield and <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> to upgradethe Hazelmere <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works to supply up to 75 000 cubic metres per day to the NCSS. Inaddition to the upgrade of the <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works, pump stations and pipelines within the NCSS willhave to be augmented to ensure the demand placed on the system does not exceed the capacity of theinfrastructure. Pipelines that are constructed as part of this augmentation process will be built with the<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016 Page 51


Chapter| Bulk Potable <strong>Water</strong> Supply Planability to allow for bi-directional flow to ensure that in the future water can be brought south from a <strong>Water</strong>Treatment Works situated at the uThukela River or the Mvoti River.• Construct an abstraction works on the uThukela River with a regional <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works andassociated infrastructure to supply water south to KwaDukuza Local Municipality and north to MandiniLocal Municipality. This system would link into the NCSS. The <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works would beconstructed to initially serve 55 000 cubic metres per day and when demands dictate it would be upgradedto 110 000 cubic metres per day.• Develop water resource infrastructure on the Mvoti River, either at Welverdient or Isithundu with a regional<strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works and associated supply infrastructure to further augment the NCSS. At some stagein the future, the long-term water demands to the north of the uThukela River may require the full (ormajority of) allocation from the Lower Thukela <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works. In this scenario potable water mayneed to be supplied northwards from the NCSS (i.e. towards the Lower Thukela <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Works) tomeet the demands on the southern side of the uThukela River.Page 52 <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016

Chapter| Environmental Management Programmes and Plans13.1.3 EnergyAn energy efficiency strategy will be finalised with inputs from the energy audits planned for the year 2010-2011. Itis envisaged that the strategy will identify areas where the organisation can reduce resource consumption.Current energy efficiency improvements include:• Replacement of light bulbs with energy efficiency bulbs• Investigations into renewable energy alternatives13.1.4 <strong>Water</strong><strong>Water</strong> consumption refers to the total freshwater purchased or abstracted in cubic metres per kilolitre of waterproduced. On-going measures are currently being implemented to improve water use efficiency. These include• Refinement of <strong>Water</strong> Balances of raw and potable water conveyance and distribution systems.• Reduction measures with regards to unaccounted for water through conveyance system audits to identifyleaks and illegal connections in the system, repairs and adequate maintenance of the pipelines in thereticulation system.Sustainability of the <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>’s main business, which is supply of potable water, is dependent uponsustainable raw water resources. Thus it is imperative to engage and undertake initiatives to alleviate water stress.Over the years the organisation has continued to be part of various Catchment Management Forums to furtherinfluence resource quality and quantity objectives in order to safeguard consumer water quality.13.1.5 Chemical UsageChemical usage efficiency is the amount of chemical used per kilolitre of water produced. The organisations hasmeasures in place to improve chemical usage efficiency and one of these is stipulated under the environmentalsustainability framework which is to evaluate a baseline for chemical usage and going forward set a target forchemical consumption per kilolitre of water produces that will aid in improving chemical consumption efficiency.13.1.6 Biodiversity, Land Degradation and Reducing Ecosystem StressThe organisation continues to apply Integrated Environmental Management (IEM) principles in the entire life cycleof all infrastructure projects in order to ensure environmental sustainability. This includes, as further outlined insection 13.2, conducting Environmental Impact Assessments for proposed projects, development ofEnvironmental Management Plans to minimise impacts on the environment as well as continuous environmentalmonitoring. One of the additional new initiatives currently being undertaken is the development of theBiodiversity Management Strategy. Progress of the study is about 10%. The EKZN has updated its Minset and C-plan data in 2011 and as soon as this is finalized and communicated it will be used to define critical conservationtargets for UW area. The study is anticipated to be finalised by June 2011.13.1.7 Reducing Waste and Consumption Pressures<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> has waste management plans for all operational sites and will continue to implement these.Specific plans include:• Waste Separation and Paper Recycling at all sites.• Collaboration with Municipalities, IT industry, responsible suppliers, retailers and other institutions,to Improve Management of Electronic Waste (e-Waste).• Plans for waste management in the next five years will be extended to include water treatment residuesand wastewater sludge management such that the impact of these on the environment is minimisedand mitigated.<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> is always striving for improvement and alignment with regards to the recycle, recover, reuse and/oravoid waste principles. One of the new initiatives currently being undertaken is the development of the wastemanagement strategy that will identify opportunities for improvement and measures to align with the waste actPage 74 <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016


| Environmental Management Programmes and Plans Chapterand he principles stipulated therein. This will also include measures for appropriate disposal and handling of watertreatment residues. Progress with regards to development of the strategy is about 30% and the study is proposedto be finished by June 2011.13.1.8 <strong>Water</strong> Quality Deterioration<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> has set resource quality objectives for abstractions for water treatment that it will continue to useas alert triggers for mitigation against increased public health risks and higher treatment costs.Specific plans include.• Continuing to Monitor Quality of Raw <strong>Water</strong> Resources in order to assess source quality as well asmitigate risks associated with the raw water abstracted.• Continuing to assess the risks associated with trends in eutrophication, chemical contaminants,pathogens and suspended solids, and effectiveness of Raw <strong>Water</strong> Quality Objectives.• Engaging Catchment Management Stakeholders to further influence resource quality and quantityobjectives to safeguard consumer water quality.• In addition, <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> will continue to Improve Quality of Waste Discharges from its own sites andwill further quantify the impact of the Darvill waste discharge.13.1.9 Environmental Health and Reducing Environmental Related Natural DisasterVulnerability<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> will continue to safeguard public health as well as protect the natural environment, through itswater, health and hygiene education awareness programmes and through implementing its disaster managementprogrammes for floods, drought and water quality and environmental incidents.Specific plans include:• Running <strong>Water</strong> Classrooms for Learners of all age groups at the Midmar, Darvill and Durban Heightssites.• Implementing planned Rural Community Outreach programmes, targeting vulnerable communities.• Implementing the Adopt a School program for the four adopted schools• Growing Awareness through Collaboration with Municipalities, DWA, DEA, Community and CivilSociety Groupings, Business Groupings, and others, for events coinciding with special environmentaldays, including, Wetlands Day, Arbor Day, <strong>Water</strong> Week, Environmental Week, Biodiversity Day, MarineWeek, and others.• Improving Management of Servitudes.13.1.10 Environmental Governance<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> will maintain its institutional capacity and knowledge to ensure it adequately responds toenvironmental sustainability challenges, as well as continues to implement its environmental management systemfor the organisation.Specific plans include:• Improved Integration of Quality Management Systems for environmental management, productquality management, occupational health and safety management over the business plan period, alignedto OHSAS 18001, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, amongst others.13.2 Environmental Impact Assessments<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> interacts with the water value chain from source-to-tap and will continue to ensure its Bulk <strong>Water</strong>Infrastructure is Developed and Maintained in a Sustainable Manner. At a project level, <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> willcontinue to apply Integrated Environmental Management (IEM) principles to its projects to ensure it undertakesenvironmentally responsible planning, design, construction, operation, decommissioning and maintenance of itsassets and activities.<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016 Page 75

Price increase per Eskom of 24.8%.2. Increased pumping compared with the prior years at pump stations most notably the shaft pump and the booster pump station.** The energy costs relating to the DWA owned dams no longer form part of the energy operating costs of S29 but are now recognised aspart of raw water charges.

| Financial Plan Chapter15.2.4 Raw <strong>Water</strong> PurchasesThe major raw water cost differences between this business plan and the prior year’s business plan are attributableto the following:1. Significant price increases due to the raw water pricing strategy as presented by DWA.2. The additional operation and maintenance charges on the DWA dams previously reflected as <strong>Umgeni</strong><strong>Water</strong> operating costs.Off-Balance Sheet Funding of <strong>Water</strong> Resources Infrastructure by DWAThis business plan does not reflect the capital unit charge of about 46 c/kl for Spring Grove Dam which may comeinto effect on 01 July 2012 and impact on water costs as from F'13 onward.

| Bank Accounts Chapter19.7 Analysis of Financial Risk<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> assumes a low risk tolerance approach to risk. The three risks described in the sections that followhave been identified as specific treasury risks and are managed proactively to ensure their timely mitigation.19.7.1 Sustainable TariffAn unsustainable tariff will affect <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong>’s ability to fund future capital expenditure programmesand undertake operational expansion. This risk impacts on the organisation’s ability to deliver on itsfinancial strategies, namely, ‘Contribute to an Affordable Tariff’.Mitigation approach<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> monitors and reports on cash flow funding requirements and maintains optimal debtlevels, has a transparent and formalised tariff policy, together with a robust tariff model. The organisationundertakes water demand planning, liaises with stakeholders to obtain commitment to the capitalexpenditure programme and subsequently undertakes project evaluation to assess sustainability of theprogramme.19.7.2 Liquidity RiskLiquidity risk will result in <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> being unable to raise sufficient funds in the required currencyand at the correct time to meet its financial obligations. This will impact on the organisation’s ability toachieve its financial strategies, namely, ‘Enhance Shareholder Value’.Mitigation approachTo mitigate liquidity risk, <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> has:• Short-term funding facilities to meet ongoing cash requirements for which facility options arein place with four banks (FNB, Standard, ABSA, Nedbank);• A Domestic Medium Note (DMTN) Programme has been established allowing for longer dateddebt such as bonds to be issued with relative ease;• Provided for a R 200 million cash buffer investment to cater for delayed payments by itscustomers;• A redemption strategy framework, which provides guidelines for managing the risksassociated with refinancing large debt maturities (such as the UG65 bond). The build-up in theredemption portfolio over a three-year period is: 10 % of the capital redemption value threeyears before maturity, 40 % two years before maturity, 75 % a year before maturity, and thebalance of 25 % is funded during the year of maturity; and• Borrowing limits approved by National Treasury, which are currently: R 2,800 million for F’10,and R 1,800million for F’11.19.7.3 Credit RiskCredit risk concentration will result in <strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> being exposed to counter-party failure. This has thepotential to impact on the organisation’s ability to ‘Maintain an Optimal Debt Level, amongst its otherstrategies.Mitigation approach<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> will:• According to its Investment Policy, mitigate credit risk by conducting transactions only withcounter parties and issuers who satisfy soundly based and acceptable assessment processes, andonly after formal limits have been set. In addition, same-day settlement limits will be setwherever possible and/or strict settlement procedures set and adhered to, and• Continue monitoring of the credit quality of counterparties.<strong>Umgeni</strong> <strong>Water</strong> Five-Year Business Plan | 2011/2012 to 2015/2016 Page 147
