The consistent excellent performance of Witzenberg Local Municipality can once again be applauded since it can only be due to team work, passion and commitment that such a feat seems to become customary for this small municipality. The Department is aware that once Blue Drop certification status is obtained, it becomes more challenging to maintain such status and this makes this accomplishment even more remarkable. Even though all (5) water supply systems reached Blue Drop status fairly comfortably, there would be a few areas the municipality is required to give attention to before further steps away from the 95% mark would be possible. This would be the process control skills level. It might be necessary to investigate means to augment current process control capacity (consider placement of Overberg Water trainees; one of the options) or further training of current staff. The other point would be to relook at the process audits since the inspectors found these assessments to lack the level of detail one would expect from an expert process engineering report. And lastly would be the chemical compliance of Tulbagh. The Aluminium levels within this system overall complied with the national standard expected level for Good compliance, but in the spirit of endeavouring towards excellence, process optimisation is a necessity to ensure the standards Witzenberg sets for itself are maintained. Nevertheless the municipality can once again proudly display its Blue Drop certification status since it surely deserves this recognition of exceptionality.
