Municipalities are responsible for basic water supply and sanitation services, e.g. City of Cape Town Water and Sanitation. They may be designated Water Services Authorities (WSAs), e.g., Amajuba District Municipality.
The Department of Water Affairs have been measuring and monitoring the overall performance of water services authorities through the Regulatory Performance Measurement System (RPMS) and drinking water quality through the Blue/Green Drop Certification Programmes.
