WATER SECURITY: FINDING BALANCE BETWEEN RELIEF AND FUTURE WATER SOURCES IS VITAL, SAYS CITY
Calls to reduce tariffs TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07 The Goodwood Ratepayers’ Association (GRRA) supports the call by civic action group Stop COCT to reduce water tariffs and scrap the “pipe charge”. This comes as dam levels have reached the 100% mark. In a statement last week, Stop COCT said the tariff system, restriction levels and “pipe charge” should be revised and proper public participation and input should be incorporated into the new structure. “Stop COCT calls on every person in Cape Town to support the call for the City of Cape
Town to immediately start the process of revising its entire water tariff, water levy and water restriction policies. This process must be started now to allow Public Participation before the next budget for 2021/2022,” said the statement. GRRA chair Faizel Petersen echoed this call. “Our dam levels have been at 100% for a few weeks now with the good rainfall we experienced,” he said. “The City of Cape Town, like most businesses in the city, must revise its budget. It needs to consider the huge staff component and look at new ways to generate revenue without placing a greater burden on its already struggling ratepayers.”
The City’s Mayco Member for Water and Waste, Xanthea Limberg, said questions about water tariffs and restrictions still remain topical. She said: “Residents are reminded that any decisions related to water tariffs and restrictions going forward will be mindful of residents’ praiseworthy relationship with water, and the City will seek to find an arrangement most beneficial to residents, one that is sustainable for our water security. “Consultations on appropriate tariffs and restrictions for the 2020-’21 hydrological year (which runs from 1 November to 31 October) are currently taking place. “Tariffs are currently on the second low-
est level possible in terms of the City’s 2020/2021 Budget, and have come down significantly since the peak of the drought. The no-restriction, water-wise tariff under consideration will provide some relief if implemented, but the possibility of tariff relief must be balanced against the extra funds needed to build additional resilience against climate change by investing in future water sources,” she said. For more information on new water sources, water restrictions (Level 1 is currently in place), guidelines around alternative water sources such as bore-holes and rainwater tanks as well as tariff information, visit www.capetown.gov.za/thinkwater.
