, Water crisis in South Africa A new report by South Africa’s
Department of Water and Sanitation paints a grim picture of the
quality of the country’s drinking water, and its water infrastructure.
The Blue Drop Audit Report is meant to ensure that water service
authorities are held accountable for providing safe drinking water.
The audit report found that the quality of the country’s drinkable
water is getting worse. Nearly half (46%) of all water supply
systems pose acute human health risks because of bacteria or other
pathogens in the drinking water supply. The report also found that
more than two thirds (67.6%) of all wastewater treatment works are
close to failure. On top of this it showed that over 47% of all clean
and treated water was lost through leaks, or could not be accounted
for. The national Blue Drop Risk Rating is an assessment focused
on critical risk areas within water services. It looks at water supply
systems at a specific moment in time. This year’s report showed that
the overall risk had dropped from 52.3% in 2022 to 47.15% in 2023
after some water supply systems made improvements and improved
their risk category from critical or high to medium or low risk. But
this should not be celebrated. To achieve Blue Drop certification,
water supply systems must meet 95% of the criteria for delivering
clean, drinkable water – and only 26 of South Africa’s 958 water
supply systems managed this. The report found that several water
supply systems were operating close to or beyond their design
capacity. Monitoring and compliance were severely deficient. This
makes fixing problems impossible as the scale of the issues at stake
are not being identified. The report said that in 23 parts of the
country, water supply systems are in “poor and critical condition”.
Almost half of all water supply systems (46%) do not comply with
microbiological standards. In these water supply systems, drinking
water is contaminated by sewage and bacteria. Viruses and parasites
