A Private-Public Partnership tackles Water Conservation and Demand Management in the urban setting

Sep 8 2011

ORASECOM, together with our partners, GIZ and Sasol, have been instrumental in driving the development of a public-private partnership to reduce water demands and address leakages in a Municipal setting, specifically the Emfuleni Local Municipality on the Vaal River. A project to reduce water consumption has been initiated which will include; retrofitting of household and public fixtures, training of local technicians on installation of water conservation/demand management facilities, awareness and training for schools and communities, as well as the establishment of waterwise gardens. It is hoped that this range of methods will realise water savings of up to 15%. For more information on this click here to see Newsletter number 4.
