- Cape Town’s ‘Invested in Hope’ draft budget 2025/26 outlines a R5,03 bn capital budget for water and sanitation over the 2025/26 financial year to drive key priorities to benefit its residents.
The City will continue to make record-setting investments in Cape Town’s water and sanitation infrastructure. The budget, now out for public participation, will provide the directorate with another R5bn boost for this coming financial year – this is more than double the R2bn spent on water and sanitation in the 2022/23 financial year.
Over the next three years R16,6 billion is allocated to water and sanitation.
‘Investing in water and sanitation infrastructure and services to benefit our residents is a non-negotiable for the City of Cape Town. We remain committed to providing reliable services to our residents while investing in infrastructure to also cater for a growing city. We encourage the public to comment on the draft budget. We want to hear from you,’ said Councillor Zahid Badroodien, Mayoral Committee Member for Water and Sanitation.
