Operation & Maintenance

WWTSA has been extremely successful in the provision of technical assistance, management, operational and maintenance services to numerous municipalities. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) management encompasses both water and wastewater systems. O&M contracts usually have duration of between three to five years, but can be extended if required.

During the period of the contract, WWTSA assumes responsibility for management, operation and maintenance of the infrastructure from abstraction at the raw water source through to the treatment works, bulk storage, distribution networks and collection systems.

Sustainable Developing

Water wastage through leaking pipes is one of the most pressing challenges facing the municipalities. Pipes leakage has a domino effect as services become unaffordable to the poorer communities with subsequent minimal collection of service revenue by the municipalities. In response to this challenge, CBPD has over the past ten years partnered with various municipalities to implement projects aimed at reducing water losses from leaking plumbing installations. This entails fixing and retrofitting of leaking pipes, toilets and taps to the households identified by the municipalities.

In the past two years, leaks repairs projects were implemented in Mamelodi, and Eersterus in Tshwane, and Bophelong in Emfuleni. Local communities received accredited training on plumbing including leaks detection before commencing with actual repair work. These workers were encouraged to set up their own companies and register with municipalities as service providers to assist in water demand management initiatives.
