The metro raked in two impressive awards at the Rand Water Forum’s awards ceremony held at Emperors Palace last Saturday.
It was a proud moment for the metro when divisional head for Water Quality and Revenue Management Mbali Matiwane ascended the stage to collect the two awards.
The awards were for water quality assurance and best metropolitan municipality in water demand management.
The metro achieved the highest volume of water use below the target allocated by Rand Water.
Achieving the Rand Water Quality Assurance Award means the metro has set the benchmark for good partnerships in the water sector.

The award was measured by:
• Water quality-monitoring programme aligned to the latest legislative requirements.
• Showing initiative in reporting and resolving water quality challenges.
• Regular liaison and communication to optimise water quality management procedures.
The volume of water supplied to the metro is within its allocation target for the 2018/2019 financial year, and the metro achieved the highest volume of water use below the target allocated by Rand Water to be the best among other municipalities supplied by the Integrated Vaal River System (IVRS).
The awards are awarded to municipalities within Rand Water’s area of supply, which includes Gauteng, parts of Mpumalanga, parts of the Free State and parts of the North West.
