Municipal finances in North West
Financial resilience is Pothole Portal’s experimental financial indicator. It does not measure service quality, corruption or political performance. The audit column below is the Treasury record; separately sourced AGSA audit evidence is available in each municipality’s Accountability tab.
This directory uses the data service’s latest default financial year. A missing value does not mean zero, and this list does not establish complete source coverage.

Source coverage and qualification notes
- Public AGSA website JSON is an undocumented source contract; refresh failures preserve the last verified publication.
- 66 municipality-service-year records have positive served counts and false municipal provider flags; source values are preserved separately, without attributing an alternative provider.
- Only 2022 revised and 2023 preliminary municipal provider data is captured. Consumer units are not household access or service quality.
Read the provincial picture with care
Municipal records do not describe the provincial government’s own spending. Municipal categories have different functions, and a district can share a geographic area with local municipalities. Do not add overlapping areas as if they represented separate populations.
Service records describe municipal provision and consumer units, rather than household access, reliability or water safety. Each evidence summary shows its own period and reporting coverage. Use provincial trends and coverage, the comparison tool and our comparison guide to understand changes.
