ToR Title: WRC corporate study to examine the changes to the tariffing processes on the WRC levy
Thrust: Strategic
Contact Persons: Gerda Kruger: gerdak@wrc.org.za
Opening Date: 18 October 2024
Closing Date : 10 November 2024
Background and Rationale
The WRC levy until now has been based on very ad-hoc arrangements due to the poor administration of the Water Licensing process and the DWS Trading Account. To knowledge, the only good determinants of data are from water Boards, which has becoming our key levy generating resource. The rest being paid ad hoc to us by the Department in a suitable arrangement over many years. To avoid the disruption.
Historically, the levy has been calculated on all water use/billed at a bulk water level and the growth in consumption also resulted in growth in our levy. However, the allocations have reached their peak and I believe that we will not see great spikes in the levy growth due to new water allocations. However, a process that started over 10 years ago to update the Pricing Strategy for Raw Water Use Charges, the revised version has been approved by the Minister of Water and Sanitation and Minister of Finance and was gazetted on 21 June 2024. The revised strategy will be effective from April 2025 and will be applicable to the water use charges for 2026/27 onwards.
