• Mopani District Municipality depends largely on the Letaba, and the Olifant River
systems as well as ground water augmentation
• The Letaba catchment is over stressed.
• There are five large dams, namely, Ebenezer, Tzaneen, Magoebaskloof, Nsami,
Middle letaba which supply water across municipalities in Mopani.

• Mopani DM has nine Regional Water Schemes with 24 Water Treatment Works
(WTW) with a total design of 234.42 Ml/d and currently producing 202, 08 Ml/d.
• Out of 24 WTW, 23 are operational and 1 not operational namely
o Metz Package Plant – Alternative supply from mountain spring

CHALLENGES
Illegal Connections;
• The Bulk pipe lines, on the entire Bulk Water Schemes, have
a lot of leakages caused by illegal connections.
• The connections are done by communities on pipe lines from
water treatment works to various reservoirs.
• The extent of the illegal connections has resulted in high
water losses on bulk pipelines and thus water does not reach
existing reservoirs and the sections of distribution network.
CHALLENGES
Supply System Below Standard
• Most villages within the scheme have water supply systems which are below
the minimum standard,
• There is no proper reticulation.
• Some people walk for long distances to fetch water
• Thabina Water Treatment works is drawing more water than the dam can
supply
Poor state of repair of the water system;
• The existing Bulk pipe lines are currently perforated with illegal connections.
• Most pipelines were built pre 1994 using Asbestos Cement (AC) pipes. This
type of pipes contributes to water losses since they are prone to cracks and
(Solid) settlements.
CHALLENGES
Increase in water demand
• The design of most of infrastructures within the scheme was
based on the demand of 25l/c/d, which has been beyond doubt
proven to be an unrealistic figure.
• The consumption pattern has significantly changed since most of
the communities have illegally connected water into their yards.
This automatically rises to yard connection category with
consumption between 60-100l/c/d.
• Furthermore, the villages within the scheme have grown in
population resulting in increased water demand.
Challenges and interventions
Challenges Intervention
Vandalism and theft of water services infrastructure. Public awareness on By-Laws and enforcement
Water allocations The review of the allocated quota to allow upgrades
Illegal connections that renders water supply
schemes inefficient.
Extension of water reticulation network and
uproot/remove illegal connections
Ageing water infrastructure Source more funds to replace it, e.g asbestos pipes
Demand higher than the supply capacity Upgrading of the water infrastructure
Ageing infrastructure resulting into high frequency in
services interruption
Develop replacement program and source funding
Physical condition of the water services infrastructure
(WWTP)
Refurbish and rehabilitate both water and waste
water plants
