lona!! We have done more but acknowledge that much still to be done. Speaker let me inform the Lesedi community that all community services tariff will increase as of July 2017 with only 6.4%. It important to say that these increases are not local based choices by necessary from ESKOM, National Treasurer and Rand Water. The people of Lesedi let me state a fact and a potential of growth. About 97% of the population within Lesedi Local Municipality have access to potable water, the informal settlements are supplied through communal taps which are situated within the 200m radius in terms of walking distance. Areas which are remotely located away from the existing water supply infrastructure, are catered for through water tanker service. On sanitation we are proud that 90% of the population have access to sanitation service, the average response time to sanitation related complaints is less than 24 hours in accordance with the norms and standards. The average Green Drop Score of the Municipality is standing at 75%. The prevalence of informal settlements and overall migration impacts negatively on the provision of sanitation service. There is a need for upgrading of the existing bulk sanitation infrastructure, to cater for the Housing developments i.e. Obed Nkosi, Kwazenzele phase 2 and Mpumelelo ext. 3.The existing Waste Water Treatment Works will soon be running out of capacity. I am pleased to announce that we have a plan. The expanding construction work in Kwazanzele phase 2 and Mpumelelo ext 3 will commence in 2018,while the Obed Nkosi will start soon lead by ERWARD on our behalf where an amount of 5.8 million will be spent.
