Water wastage through leaking pipes is one of the most pressing challenges facing the municipalities. Pipes leakage has a domino effect as services become unaffordable to the poorer communities with subsequent minimal collection of service revenue by the municipalities. In response to this challenge, CBPD has over the past ten years partnered with various municipalities to implement projects aimed at reducing water losses from leaking plumbing installations. This entails fixing and retrofitting of leaking pipes, toilets and taps to the households identified by the municipalities.
In the past two years, leaks repairs projects were implemented in Mamelodi, and Eersterus in Tshwane, and Bophelong in Emfuleni. Local communities received accredited training on plumbing including leaks detection before commencing with actual repair work. These workers were encouraged to set up their own companies and register with municipalities as service providers to assist in water demand management initiatives.
