At uMngeni Water Services, our projects and initiatives are the practical embodiment of our vision- to deliver innovative, inclusive, and sustainable water and sanitation solutions across South Africa and beyond.
The Projects and Initiatives division represents our commitment to impact-led implementation. Each project we undertake is designed not only to solve immediate water and sanitation challenges but to unlock broader socio-economic benefits: from job creation and skills development to environmental resilience and revenue optimisation.
Whether we are reducing non-revenue water in rural districts, reviving wastewater infrastructure, or empowering youth through technical learning, every UWS initiative is a step toward a more equitable and efficient water sector.
We partner with Water Services Authorities (WSAs), private entities, and academic institutions to co-create practical, replicable solutions for service delivery and infrastructure challenges.
Our projects are designed to improve livelihoods, stimulate local economies, and empower communities- especially through the upskilling of youth and the inclusion of small businesses.
Through rigorous project planning, monitoring, and data-driven decision-making, our operations are designed to yield measurable social, environmental, and economic outcomes.
As a subsidiary of uMngeni-uThukela Water, UWS operates with commercial agility while upholding a public service ethos. We actively pursue innovative funding mechanisms, PPPs, and reuse solutions that create value while protecting vital water resources.
Projects are developed in direct response to on-the-ground needs, guided by research, stakeholder consultation, and performance data.
We work closely with municipalities, national and provincial departments, funding partners, and community organisations to co-design and implement solutions that last.
Our initiatives are built to be scalable and replicable- ensuring that successful models can be adapted across the province and country.
From design to delivery, our projects are people-driven. We prioritise local participation, community benefit, and inclusive economic growth.
As our portfolio grows, this page will showcase the full spectrum of impactful work undertaken by UWS- from infrastructure upgrades and WCDM pilots, to digital monitoring systems and green economy transitions in the water sector.
