  16. Performance vs. Budget 19 March 2007

  17. Water Sales 2006 19 March 2007

  18. CBI Technical Report • No major capital work was carried out during the year and BM operations staff congratulated for good condition of pump station • Maintenance and replacement were carried out on the following items: • 400mm diameter rising main • Scour valves and NR valve on high lift pump 3 • Balance discs on high lift pump 2 • Clarifier cleaned out and rakes repaired • Saddleback reservoir roof repaired 19 March 2007

  19. CBI Technical Report • Damage to the high lift rising main due to April 2001 flood led to 360m length pipe replacement, re-routing away from the river bed and a new extended CP system installed • Water quality after clarification was good despite variable raw water quality and pH control was kept in optimal range • Water consumption is stable at below 12 mega litres per day 19 March 2007

  20. Key challenges • Board faces lethargy from Pella and Pofadder consumers who are reluctant to pay water bills and will not accept even mild tariff increases • Technical evaluation of the installation to be carried out to quantify future long-term capital requirements • Benchmarking against similar sized water boards • Succession planning, average age: 48 years • Develop relationships with other water utility service providers • Integration with BM initiatives: CI, SCM, SHE, etc. 19 March 2007

  21. Key challenges • Communication with the pump station poor in case of emergency while Telkom has been slow in addressing this issue • Recruitment of Board members as civil servants without any compensation • BM mine is targeting reduced water consumption which will reduce revenue generation significantly • Ageing equipment will become more maintenance intensive as time goes on, putting more pressure on tariff increases • Educating the surrounding communities on the operation of the water works 19 March 2007

  22. Key challenges • Set up DWAF office in Springbok to work more closely with the water board • Partnership with the BM mine is beneficial but ultimately not sustainable • Capacity within KM Municipality to manage the pumping station is non-existent • Unawareness of government’s IT strategy, service delivery improvement plan • Board capacity insufficient for possible Gamsberg expansion 19 March 2007
