With respect to the performance in service delivery, the SPLM reported that the Council resolved that one standard of service (full services) will be provided to all residents. This intends to address the present backlogs (households) in basic services such as water (estimated at 1 215 formal households and 8 400 informal households); sanitation (estimated at 5 645 formal households and 8 400 informal households); electricity (estimated at 7 686 households); and housing (estimated at 13 908 households). The SPLM reported that serious financial constraints exist with regard to the provision of bulk infrastructure (mainly sewer outfall works), replace, refurbish and maintaining ageing infrastructure and to create productive new infrastructure.
