The EMLM reported that it has experienced some capacity constraints and these include: old infrastructure in Dordrecht and Indwe Water treatment works; shortage of staff like water treatment plant operators and plumbers and; drying up of Dordrecht Anderson dam due to draught. However, the EMLM assured the Committee that a number of interventions have been put in place, namely: the Chris Hani District Municipality (CHDM) appointed an official responsible for water services; water trucks were purchased by the CHDM; old infrastructure has been refurbished; a tender has been advertised for a service provider to drill new bore holes; the organogram will be populated; and a three-year plan to address all water and sanitation backlogs has been drafted.
