Ukugunyazwa kweBhodi kugunyaza ukufinyelela kukamasipala kuxhaso lwezimali olushibhile kanye nezibonelelo ukuze bathole amafosholo phansi amaphrojekthi abalulekile wengqalasizinda yamanzi nendle. Kuxhaso lwephrojekthi olugunyazwe namuhla, izigidi ezingama- $30 zezibonelelo ezivela ku-federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) zizosiza imiphakathi engama-30 kuhulumeni wonkana ukuthi ikwazi ukusungula imigqa yesevisi eholayo ezinhlelweni zamanzi okuphuza, isinyathelo sokuqala esibalulekile sokuqala amaphrojekthi okushintsha nokuvikela impilo yomphakathi.

Ibhodi ligunyaze izibonelelo kanye nezimali kohulumeni basekhaya kusuka ku-BIL, theIzimali Ezijikelezayo Zamanzi Ahlanzekile Namanzi Okuphuza(CWSRF kanye ne-DWSRF), kanye nezibonelelo esezimenyezelwe ngaphansi kohlelo Lokuthuthukiswa Kwengqalasizinda Yamanzi (WIIA). Ukusebenzisa uxhaso lwe-BIL ngokutshalwa kwezimali koMbuso kuzoqhubeka nokunika imiphakathi yasendaweni amandla okwenza ukuthuthukiswa kwezinhlelo ezibalulekile ukuze kuvikelwe impilo yomphakathi, kuvikelwe imvelo, kuqinise ukulungela isimo sezulu kwemiphakathi, futhi kugqugquzelwe ukuthuthukiswa komnotho.

Isimemezelo sanamuhla samaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-265 wemiklamo yengqalasizinda yamanzi sihlinzeka ngezimali ezibalulekile komasipala abenza ngcono ukuze kubhekwane nezintambo ezihamba phambili kanye nokunye okusongela amanzi ahlanzekile nempilo yomphakathi.”
