Urban water supply services have
traditionally been provided by state-owned, water utilities.
In the past decades, many governments have tried to turn
state-owned water utilities into effective and viable
organizations with mixed success. Why have some public
utilities become more efficient service providers, while
others have not been able to break the vicious cycle of low
performance and low cost recovery? The World Bank report
"key topics in public water utility reform"
presents a framework of attributes of well functioning
utilities and how they have introduced key institutional
measures. It thus aims to help water and sanitation sector
practitioners to choose and apply public utility reform approaches.
