About this event
BACKGROUND TO THE FORUM
During the drought period of 1995, Rand Water established the “Forums” as a communication vehicle with its customers. The Forums are categorized into two categories, namely the “Water Services Forum” which caters for municipal customers and the “Mining and Industry Forums” which caters for mining and industry customers as well as direct consumers.
Since the establishment of the Forums, there have been new developments in the water sector, as well as changes in legislation that necessitated a critical review of Rand Water’s forums in the water supply value chain to comply with Legislation. This review is in line with Rand Water’s vision of being the provider of sustainable, universally competitive water and sanitation solutions for Africa.”
Rand Water sources specialists in the subject field to come and share information with the Forum members, and for members to ask questions from specialists. The topics are all water related with the aim of providing implementable and sustainable long-term solutions to water related challenges.
