FIRST FOR WATER PRIVATISATION

THE Siza Water Company won a 30-year privatisation contract on Friday for water and waste water services provision to the Dolphin Coast — the first contract of its kind. The borough north of Durban includes Ballito, Chaka’s Rock, Salt Rock, Uhlali, Sheffield Beach, as well as the Dolphin Coast municipal area, and has a population of 56000. The consortium is led by Saur International and its selection was approved by local government minister Valli Moosa.
