- Description
- This study is concentrated around achieving consumer water demand through sustainable development of water infrastructure within the King Cetshwayo District, which is still very limited. The goal of this study was to look into the technical issues that arise from inferior project delivery, poor infrastructural maintenance, and the elements that contribute to suboptimal service delivery of water infrastructure projects. This research was conducted using qualitative research, which offers insight from a participant’s point of view. It focuses on human experiences and communal circumstances. It is therefore, sound judgement to use a qualitative research method to collect data using a semi-structured interview guide. The researcher utilised deliberate sampling using purposive sampling. The recruitment process targeted the corporate and the senior management levels. This study's objective was to investigate the elements involved in developing sustainable water infrastructure to fulfil consumers water demand and to identify strategies for using sustainable development techniques to address the water scarcity. The study findings reveal that the main issues with poor service delivery include service delivery issues, cost overruns, unsatisfactory performance, improper use of funds and project completion delays.
