Insufficient water resources in which to address future demand (within the ‘Karoo cluster of Local Municipalities). Inadequate bulk water supply sources and facilities. The provision and maintenance of basic services infrastructure remains a challenge due to the relative large number of settlements within this area. General : Methods of sewerage reticulation and treatment in the various urban and rural areas differ substantially. There is a dire need to upgrade sewerage systems in most of the previously marginalised areas. Rapid population growth placing increased pressure on water resources resulting in shortages during peak holidays seasons. SERVICE DELIVERY – WATER AND SANITATION

14. MUNICIPAL FINANCES • All LMs have adopted their 2007/08 budget • MFMA Challenges being addressed by the CDM Capacity Building Strategy • Annual financial statements are being completed on time and there is no longer a backlog • The new National Treasury accounting standards are taken into account in the capacity building strategy but will not be addressed quickly; they are very onerous and costly • FBS is implemented across the District, however the indigent registers need to be updated regularly • Grant spending remains slow in areas and is being tackled by eg Siyenze Manje (MIG) and by the capacity building strategy. Partly due to late notification of grants and too little time to spend in the same financial year (this is improving). • Cacadu District Municipality is a non-income generating municipality
