PROVIDER OF SUSTAINABLE WATER SOLUTIONS

The Challenge
The Chris Hani District Municipality was faced with extreme challenges to rehabilitate and refurbish their rural water and sanitation facilities within their service area, serving a population of over 810 000, and thereafter, effectively operating and maintaining these facilities.
The Solution
Through a public tender, the municipality appointed WSSA as their service support agent and their water service provider. This was an ongoing contract providing operational and technical services, driving the roll-out of the municipal ROMP (rehabilitate, operate, maintain) programme.
Achievements
