1. Item name: A PROTOCOL TO MANAGE THE POTENTIAL OF GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION FROM ON SITE SANITATION |
Item type: Acts, Regulations & Policies
Description: The important role that groundwater plays in the health of many communities cannot be overstated. In the future it is expected that groundwater sources will increasingly be the only source of additional water for the development of communities, particularly in the more remote areas. However the quality and quantity of these resources are constantly under threat from the activities of human existence and development. It is therefore of vital importance that adequate measures are taken to preserve our valuable groundwater resources. However concern regarding the contamination of groundwater should not be used as an motivation for not using on-site sanitation systems without a proper investigation of the implications of adopting alternative systems. |

6. Item name: POLICY FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICE PROVIDERS (PSPs) |
Item type: Acts, Regulations & Policies
Description: In August 1995 Interim Guidelines for the Appointment of Consultants were adopted by the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF). The guidelines were introduced in line with constitutional and wider policy frameworks for public procurement management. The aim in developing the guidelines was to streamline the procedures to promote the development of emerging and previously marginalized consultants. By 2000, valuable experience had been gained and a regime of policies affecting public procurement had evolved, which necessitated the need to review the 1995 guidelines. Within this context, DWAF commissioned the review of its guidelines for the appointment of consultants. The process followed included rigorous policy research and review; interviews with other government departments and a wide stakeholder interest sector; internal mini-workshops to test and debate emerging guidelines; presentations to the DWAF for comments and inputs; editing and further reference to stakeholders and government departments |

8. Item name: S78 Assessment - Generic Terms of Reference: Scope of Work |
Item type: Acts, Regulations & Policies
Description: The Municipal Systems Act 2000 (MSA) Section 77 requires municipalities to “review and decide on mechanisms to provide a municipal service”. Although not specifically stated in Section 77, the implications of Sections 77 through 81 are clear that only those municipalities with the service authority need perform a Section 78 review, since they are the only municipalities who can decide on a service provision mechanism. Therefore the following terms of reference (TOR) should be seen as applicable only to those municipalities having the service authority for water and sanitation. |

11. Item name: Water Supply Service Level |
Item type: Acts, Regulations & Policies
Description: One reason people do not pay for their water services is that the level of service available to them is not acceptable.
Although government recognises the right of every South African to a basic supply of
water, it does not believe that people should necessarily be limited to a standpipe that
delivers 25 litres per person per day at 200m. Many people want a higher level of service and are willing and able to pay the additional costs involved. Not to give these people the appropriate level of service may:
• Cause dissatisfaction
• Cause unauthorised connections to be made
• Lead to vandalism
• Result in lack of cost recovery and unsustainability of the systems
• Further prejudice the previously disadvantaged. |

Funds and other resources are scarce and therefore it is essential that available resources are applied most beneficially. This implies that thorough regional planning is required to identify the most cost effective and sustainable water supply solutions. It is also essential that cost estimates are accurate so that budget overruns during implementation of water supply schemes are minimized. |

79. Item name: Current Use of Urine Diversion Toilets in South Africa |
Item type: Research Reports
Description: The sanitation policy of the South African government [within a context of developmental local government agenda (DLGA) and greater milieu of community participation in the implementation of adequate sanitation] stresses that sanitation is not simply a matter of providing toilets, but rather an integrated approach that encompasses financial, technical, environmental, social, economic, educational, institutional and organisational frameworks considerations developed by DPLG and other sector Departments and/or partners in the local government sector. The National White Paper on Basic Household Sanitation (DWAF 2001), Water Services Framework (DWAF 2003) and National Comprehensive Sanitation strategy (forthcoming) are based on a set of principles where sanitation is about a human right and about environment and health. Following these strategies, sanitation improvement must be demand responsive and supported by an intensive Health and Hygiene Programme, community participation, integrated planning and development, co-operative governance between spheres of government whilst at the same time promoting acceleration of delivery at local government level. |
