On 31 March 2022 the National Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) released the first Green Drop report since 2013.
The Green Drop Report provides an analysis of the current state of affairs of wastewater infrastructure and management in the country and also looks at the state of municipal wastewater treatment.
This year, the DWS Green Drop audit teams assessed 995 wastewater systems across 144 municipalities, 12 Department of Public Works branches, and five private and state-owned organisations.
Wastewater systems with total scores of 90% and higher obtained Green Drop status.
