Water services development plan attached.

The purpose of Chapter 2 – IDP and WSDP goals is to provide the organization’s long term direction and desired state for water services provisioning within the Amajuba Water Services Authority.

“To comply with the Water Services Act, the WSDP should be prepared as part of the IDP process unless there is no IDP process in which case it can be prepared separately. The WSDP is a sectoral plan that falls within the inter-sectoral umbrella plan of the IDP”. (WSDP Guidelines) The Amajuba IDP process is presently not aligned with the WSDP process, however, this chapter aims to orient the water services development goals against the overall goals of the IDP. It is proposed that the WSDP will be aligned with the next cycle / revision of the IDP.

The strategies developed as part of the WSDP has been based on the IDP vision, priority issues and objectives in terms of addressing the when, who, what, etc. Should it be found that insufficient resources are available to support the strategy, the IDP priority issues and objectives would have to be reconsidered.
