Johannesburg Water is enhancing services amid challenges, with strategic plans for resilience and sustainability.
Johannesburg Water remains committed to providing quality water and sanitation services to the residents of the city. The entity is focusing on initiatives to boost resilience and sustainable recovery, even in the face of economic challenges faced by South Africa, such as rising unemployment and increasing national debt.
Nombuso Shabalala, the Spokesperson for Johannesburg Water, recognises the additional strain on the entity. “These factors have required innovative approaches to service delivery with limited funding and growing demands in marginalised areas,” Shabalala stated. “However, we are committed to exploring alternative models to maximise the provision of quality water and sanitation services, while also prioritising initiatives that will enhance our resilience and foster sustainable recovery.
Furthermore, the Water Services Programme will ensure prompt response to interruptions and bursts. This programme aims to reduce leaks and address sewer blockages quickly, minimising the impact on residents and businesses.The Revenue Enhancement Programme will target reductions in Non-Revenue Water and improve meter reading accuracy. This will help to ensure that Johannesburg Water is able to generate the revenue needed to maintain and improve its services.
