There are no reservoir tanks for storing water and<br>\nresidents collect water from a stream situated on the mountain. Qutubeni and<br>\nSilindini locations experience water challenges, because of old infrastructure,\u201d<br>\nGcaleka said.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHDM<br>\nhas a total of 84 600 flushing toilets (37.73% of total households), 103 000<br>\nVentilation Improved Pit (45.82% of total households), and 20 500 (9.13% of<br>\ntotal households) pit toilets.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt<br>\nis evident that CHDM is striving to the extent permitted by its resources and<br>\nfinancial means to address service delivery issues in its area of jurisdiction.<br>\nThe investigation, however, has revealed that there is still poor and\/or lack<br>\nof basic essential services such as water and water infrastructure within<br>\ncertain villages, which impact negatively on the community,\u201d she wrote.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gcaleka said areas of concern<br>\nrelate to inadequate access to clean water and proper sanitation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHDM also has challenges with<br>\nold water infrastructure and there is poor maintenance thereof.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese shortcomings<br>\ncontribute to poor water service delivery to communities and as such, are<br>\nincompatible with the CHDM\u2019s legal obligations imposed by the Constitution and<br>\nthe law. Based on the evidence at hand, the Public Protector concludes that<br>\nthere is inadequate delivery of water supply by CHDM, which prejudices the<br>\ncommunity members within its district. This service deficiency is not in line<br>\nwith the legal obligations of the CHDM,\u201d she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evidence placed at the<br>\ndisposal of the Public Protector has established that strides have been made<br>\nfor the provision of water services by the CHDM, she said, but there are still<br>\nsome service challenges that manifest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile<br>\nthe Infrastructure Development Plan has been put in place by CHDM to address<br>\nthe water-related problems in the district, these water challenges remain in<br>\nplace and continue to prejudice the community in the CDHM until the plan is<br>\nfully executed or implemented.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gcaleka said the inadequate provision of<br>\nmunicipal services and the lack of necessary infrastructure on the part of CHDM<br>\npose a health risk to the community in the district.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<br>\nconduct of the CHDM accordingly constitutes improper conduct as envisaged in<br>\nsection 182(1)(a) of the Constitution as well as prejudice in terms of section<br>\n6(4)(a)(v) of the Public Protector Act. The report is dated October 19.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within 90 calendar days<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>of<br>\nthe date of this report, in line with the obligations and mandate contemplated<br>\nin section 152(1)(b) of the Constitution, (the public protector will) conduct<br>\nan assessment to determine the basic municipal services requirements in all<br>\naffected areas within CHDM.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within<br>\n30 calendar days<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>of the submission of the Implementation Plan by the<br>\nMunicipal Manager (Gcobani Mashiyi), she said, to submit
