eThekwini’s council decisions record dated 31 March 2025 lists a proposal for two regional wastewater treatment works to be delivered through a public-private partnership, with a reported value of R2.1bn and a target delivery period in 2027/28.
The same record lists the Southern Aqueduct at an estimated R1.1bn and gives 2026/27 as its expected completion period. The source describes programme timing and project values; it is not a completion certificate or a statement of final project expenditure.
The cited council record does not establish that the wastewater PPP has reached financial close or that the aqueduct’s full estimated value has been paid. Later tender, award, contract and audited expenditure records are needed to establish those stages.
What it means
These values identify major municipal infrastructure commitments to follow. Civic Ledger will update the project histories when procurement, contract execution, construction and audited spending records become available.
