Section 18 (1) of the Water Services Act, Act 108 of 1997 states that a Water Services Authority must report on the implementation of its development plan during each financial year. The reports must be made within four months after the end of each financial year and must be given to the Minister for Provincial Affairs and Constitutional Development, the relevant Province and every organisation representing municipalities having jurisdiction in the area of the water services authority.
Such reports are not submitted to the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS), but rather to Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA).
