>>the existing water supply by a pump station and a pipeline.

>>The Water Affairs and Forestry Department budget is projected to increase
>>from R2 330 million in 1998/99 to R2 639,9m in 2000/01, the budget review
>>showed yesterday.

>>Capital expenditure will increase from R1 537,2m to R1 785,3m over the
>>period.

>>previously been connected to a water supply received water at a cost of
>>R725m.
>>
>>By September last year 1 020 water supply projects were under way or
>>completed which will ensure that 8,9 million people gain access to water
>>and 100 000 to adequate sanitation.
