Water Demand Management IWA recognition for a 55% reduction in water demand between 2015 – 2017 without resorting to intermittent supply
It’s all about Supply & Demand:
2. NEW WATER SUPPLY
• Strategy will inform medium and long-term programme
• Emergency projects continuing as per 2018 Water Outlook:
• Cape Flats Aquifer (CFA)*: License conditions provide for three phases of extraction which
translates to a sustainable yield of 55 – 83 MLD and a peak yield of between 83 – 124 MLD
• Table Mountain Group aquifer (TMG)*: License conditions cover three phases at a number
of locations providing for a yield of between 115 – 355 MLD sustainable yield
• Atlantis & Silwerstroom aquifer: potential for an additional 20 MLD
• Berg River Voelvlei augmentation scheme (BRVAS) in progress by DWS to yield 60 MLD by
2021
• Zandvliet temporary re-use scheme was part of the section 29 projects funded in Dec
2017, and will be complete Q1 2019
• Faure permanent re-use: This project is in design to provide 70 MLD (expandable to 100
MLD) of re-use water from Zandvliet & potentially Macassar into the raw water supply from
Steenbras at Faure water treatment plant;
– Alien vegetation clearing: The impact of unmanaged alien vegetation on the system yield
has been calculated as significant, at least 20 MCM.
• City is engaging with National DWS regarding WCWSS reconciliation strategy.
* Each phase to be assessed to be sustainable before moving to the next

Integrated City Water Strategy
& equity in access;
• Consider, plan and mitigate shocks and stresses;
• Diversify supply – reduce reliance on rainfall, introduce redundancy;
• Maintain water conservation & demand management, support household
resilience;
• Resolve better management of catchments requiring cooperation between
all spheres of government;
• Price water appropriately;
• Water sensitive design – manage urban water cycle.

ACCOMMODATION TYPOLOGY
1011
BED AND BREAKFAST
According to the zoning scheme, B&B “means a dwelling house or second dwelling in
which the owner of the dwelling supplies lodging and meals for compensation to
transient guests who have permanent residence elsewhere; provided that:
• the dominant use of the dwelling house concerned remain for the living
accommodation of a single family; and
• the property complies with the requirements contained in this zoning scheme for a
bed and breakfast establishment.”
Therefore, the dominant use of a B&B property shall remain for the accommodation
of a single family and the zoning scheme adds that no more than 3 rooms and no
more than 6 paying guests shall be allowed per land unit.
In addition to this, no more than 3 employees shall be engaged by the owner as part
of the establishment. The purpose of this is to ensure that the residential character of
the neighbourhood is not compromised
12GUEST HOMES
• A guesthouse in turn “means a dwelling house or second dwelling which is
used for the purpose of supplying lodging and meals to transient guests for
compensation, in an establishment which exceeds the restrictions of a bed
and breakfast establishment, and may include business meetings or training
sessions by and for guests on the property.”
• The goal of any guesthouse should be to provide small to medium scale
guest accommodation in a conventional residential neighbourhood setting
and to generate income opportunities from a residential dwelling building.
• This therefore exceeds the restrictions of a B&B establishment because more
than 3 rooms can be operated per land unit.
• The maximum size of 30 persons or 15 rooms is permitted in a guesthouse
establishment. More than 15 rooms would constitute a hotel or boutique
hotel.
13ZONING
14PRIMARY USE, ADDITIONAL USE AND CONSENT USE RIGHTS
• All properties that were zoned in terms of the former zoning scheme are
deemed to be zoned in terms of the new zoning scheme, which means that
each guesthouse and B&B owner needs to re-establish their zoning in terms of
the new scheme and assess the implication for their establishment on this
merit.
• If “B&B “and/or “guesthouse” are mentioned under additional use rights in
your specific zone, an activity or use described in this zone is permitted
without the approval of Council, provided that any condition or further
provisions specified for such activity or use are adhered to.
• For instance, the B&B or guesthouse must comply with building regulations,
height restrictions, parking requirements or any other requirement set out by
the zoning scheme for a B&B or a guesthouse.
15RESIDENTIAL ZONE
Apply for drinking water use that exceeds restriction levels for guesthouses & B&Bs
• If your guesthouse or bed and breakfast (B&B) uses 40% and less of your
property, it will be zoned as a residential property.
• Guesthouses and B&Bs that fall under the residential zone will have to
complete the Application to Increase Current Quota of Water Supplied
Affidavit Form (found in document download section below).
• The quota for the property will be approved at 70 litres per occupant, plus
guest capacity.

and-sanitation/Apply-for-exemption-from-water-
restrictions/Apply%20for%20exemption%20from%20water%20restrictions
16COMMERCIAL ZONE
• If your guesthouse or B&B uses more than 40% of your property it will be zoned
as a commercial property. Guesthouses and B&Bs that fall under the
commercial zone will have to complete the Consumption Above Restriction
Level: Non-domestic Properties Affidavit Form.
• If your property has been incorrectly zoned, your case will be forwarded to
our Valuations Department for rezoning.
• Your property will then be zoned as a commercial property, and services
should change accordingly.
• According to the Tariff Policy your services should change to be in line with
the Property Rates Tariff.
• Once your property has been zoned as a commercial property the water
meter should be set on full flow.
• NB You will still have to apply for a residential quota increase(as explained
above) until the zoning is changed on the system.

and building process and are also necessary if you are intending to use a site
or building for purposes other than what it has been originally zoned or built
for. Here you can quickly access all necessary documentation and guidelines
for your official land use management application.

ALTERNATIVE WATER PRINCIPLES
• Quality required for different uses – as per 1996 national guidelines.
• Applications & licensing required for groundwater, surface water & treated
effluent.
• Imperative to prevent potentially dangerous alternative water from contaminating
drinking water system on the premises and surrounding area. Reduced Pressure
Zone (RPZ) valve back-flow preventer is mandatory.
• Discharge to correct place – overflow to stormwater or to sewer if any harmful
chemicals or substances
• Colour code the pipes
• Put up the official ‘Do not drink’ warning signage – on City’s website
