The right of access to basic water supply and basic sanitation services is enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa of 1996, and government is responsible for the provision of water and proper sanitation.

When the new democratically elected government came into power in 1994, it identified the provision of water to its citizens as one of its key priorities. Apart from the limited water reserves at the time, government was aware of the historical injustices of the past. The provision of water services in then apartheid South Africa was done along racial lines.

However, it also reports that some provinces such as Limpopo, Free State and Mpumalanga have somewhat regressed in the provision of water and sanitation. A number of communities have also been expressing their frustrations with sewerage spillages and some with water flow disruptions. The sustainable provision of water to all South Africans still requires the construction of new dams, and the construction of water piping and boreholes in areas still without water, as guided by the NWRS.
