Trends & history

Each source has its own timeline.

Explore the paired 2022 revised and 2023 preliminary service records. Consumer units describe administrative provision, not resident access or reliability.

Verified source years: 2022, 2023. Other selected years appear as gaps.

Current municipality geography is used for national and provincial views. A consistent cohort requires every selected metric in every selected year; sparse SCM flags and latest-only AGSA indicators can produce an empty cohort. Missing records are never converted to zero.
