. Water supply - The delegation questioned the department about the access to basic water and sanitation services and the rate of success in providing this basic service to the people in the municipality. The members enquired as to what plans the Department of Water Affairs (DWA) had to address the issue of water shortages in the area, where the main water source is situated in the area and referring to the possibility of building a dam to service the area. Lack of time frames was also a major concern for the delegation, asking the DWA, why there are no time frames attached to all interventions mentioned.
