With respect to service delivery and capacity constraints, the NXLM reported that 90 percent of Nxuba households have access to electricity. With respect to the provision of water, the NXLM said that its bulk water provision is problematic with consequential differing level of service in different communities. The NXLM added that existing dams are inadequate and there is proposal for the construction of the new dam, the Department of Water Affairs committed itself to construct a dam. With regard to the provision of sanitation, the NXLM reported that bucket eradication projects were implemented until 2008 but could not be completed when it was realised that the capacity of the sewerage treatment works will not be able to handle the increased work load. The NXLM added that, due to this capacity constraint 20 percent of residents are still using the bucket system. However, environmental assessment studies are being conducted.
