The Nandoni Water Works was divided into two projects: the Nandoni Water Treatment which is going to be completed in 2010/11; and the Nandoni Distribution Scheme. The Distribution scheme was still far from completion. The Department would have only completed 51 per cent of the entire work, 65 per cent in 2011/12 and 76 per cent in 2012/13. About 240 people are employed in the project. The dam was expected to supply 700 000 people once completed. It was reported that Phase 1 of the dam produces 60 mega litres of water per day which was expected to cater for 150 000 people. Plans were underway to construct more water settlements (Phase 2) which would double the capacity of the dam to 120 mega litres of water per day. Areas that were supplied by the dam included Thohoyandou, Makhado, and Mavambe.
