Flexible service quality regulation is useful in avoiding interminable disagreements while still expanding the network especially to unprofitable or poor areas. 4. Municipal Government and user involvement is strongly correlated with successful results. 2012-08-13T11:06:16Z 2012-08-13T11:06:16Z 2007-02 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2007/02/8269911/argentina-salta-water-public-private-partnership http://hdl.handle.net/10986/10300 English en breve; No. 102 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Latin America & Caribbean Argentina

Coordination across government levels and ministries, practical pro-poor measures to expand service and a flexible contract were major reasons why this concession succeeded. The Provincial Government's stability and continuous finance of subsidies and the investment program have also been factors in the concession's success.
