Improve Electrical Efficiency Plan: 1. Purpose and Objectives
Sedibeng Water; North West is committed to superiority and leadership in shielding the environment. In
compliance with the policy, the objectives are to report on the use of natural resources, reduce/minimize waste,
and implement possible energy/water/fuel efficient programs in order to provide for the current and future
generations. The purpose of this plan is to enforce legal compliance and prevent environmental degradation of
the Sedibeng Water in North West. All required standards and legal documents related and applicable to
resource conservation were consulted to carry out a procedural and informative plan. Method, strategies,
observations, recommendations and the type of pollutions were carried out appropriately.
