Once again, an impressive performance by Matlosana Local Municipality together with Midvaal Water Company is revealed by maintaining the Blue Drop certification. This ensured the allocation of Blue Drop certification that both institutions managed to maintain. The Department wish to congratulate Matlosana Local Municipality together with Midvaal Water Company for the excellent performance. It is worth noting that the final water quality compliance percentage was a 60% of the Water Services Provider and a 40% of the Water Services Authority. The several failures of the Microbiological Compliance nearly compromised the Blue Drop Certification. The municipality must give attention to their water quality monitoring programmes and ensure that recurring failures are prevented. The Department would like to commend the Midvaal Water Company in terms of the comments from the Inspectors quoting “MDC of a highly organised and efficient company in supplying an excellent quality drinking water from the Vaal River. The river, at the abstraction point, is seriously affected by the activities of upstream users - Vaal Barrage, SASOL effluent, Parys wastewater treatment works as well as many mines and other agricultural activities. The water purification process is like a factory where the product is monitored at every stage of production to ensure that each process is doing its job in purifying the water. It is a most impressive place to visit and to see how water purification can be an art”. The Matlosana LM officials are highly motivated who have ensured that the WSA can deliver water to its consumers over vast distances. However, senior management is encouraged to give attention towards extending their water quality monitoring programmes to ensure water quality compliance is turned around. The Department wish to encourage both the Midvaal Water Company and The Matlosana LM not to lose the momentum but to continue working together in a healthy relationship to ensure continuous improvement in pursuing one goal.
