“It was a proud moment for the City when Divisional Head for Water Quality and Revenue Management Mbali Matiwane ascended the stage to collect the two awards,” municipal spokesperson Themba Gadebe said.
The awards were in Water Quality Assurance and Best Metropolitan Municipality in water demand management. CoE achieved the highest volume of water use below the target allocated by the Rand Water.
Achieving Rand Water Quality Assurance Award means CoE has set the benchmark for good partnerships in the water sector and it was measured by:
* water quality-monitoring programme aligned to the latest legislative requirements;
* showing initiative in reporting and resolving water quality challenges;
* regular liaison and communication to optimise water quality management procedures
The volume of water supplied to CoE is within its allocation target for 2018/2019 financial year and CoE achieved the highest volume of water use below the target allocated by the Rand Water to be the best among other municipalities supplied by the Integrated Vaal River System (IVRS).
The awards are awarded to municipalities within Rand Water area of supply, which includes Gauteng, parts of Mpumalanga, parts of Free State and parts of North West.
