Water and Sanitation conducts public consultations on raw water tariffs, 23 to 26 Jul
The Gauteng Provincial Office of the Department of Water and Sanitation invites members of the media to a three-day public consultation meeting on the proposed raw water use charges for the 2025/26 financial year.
As it forms part of the Vaal Orange Catchment Management Agency, DWS Gauteng Provincial Office oversees the Vaal and Orange River catchments.
The consultation meetings will therefore get inputs from various role players within the water sector on the proposed raw water charges.
Different stakeholders need to be consulted before the final approval by the Minister of Water and Sanitation as mandated by the National Water Act, which states that extensive consultation should be undertaken before an organ of State increases any price of bulk resources supplied to municipalities and municipal entities.
The media is invited to attend the public consultation meetings as follows:
DAY 1:
