Hon Worth, you have put your finger on the nub of the problem. This does not only apply to water, it applies to all bulk economic and social infrastructure, whether it is a school, a road, or any infrastructure. The weakness that is common is that we do not make provision for maintenance.
In addition, as you know, a city such as Cape Town, for example, is old. At some point, the pipes are bound to show old age and, therefore, wear and tear, unless the municipality, the Metro, intervenes. In Gauteng, this is what people are experiencing. Through seepage, lots of water is lost and it goes to waste.
So, indeed, the key to solving all these problems is that, after delivering any major project, there must be a maintenance team in place to maintain that infrastructure. If we do not do that, it will always cost us a fortune to repair and reconstruct. Essentially, just by maintaining it, most bulk economic infrastructure can give us good service for almost 50 years. However, if there is no maintenance, it means every second term or so you have got to reconstruct from scratch. And that goes, as I said, for all infrastructure - the schools, the hospitals, the clinics. With maintenance, paintwork and all of that, on an ongoing basis, we would save a lot, actually. Thank you very much, Chairperson.
