| Summary: | The Explanatory Notes on Key Topics in
the Regulation of Water and Sanitation Services provide a
consistent set of principles and practices that respond to
these questions. Such information will be of interest to
service providers, policy makers, and development
practitioners interested in improving the performance of WSS
services in urban areas. The notes draw upon current
regulatory thinking and research, but are intended to be
accessible to those who are not regulatory experts. These
are the first outputs of a program of work on regulation in
the water supply and sanitation sector funded by the
Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF), the
Bank-Netherlands Water Partnership (BNWP), and the World
Bank. We will add additional notes as that work progresses.
Each of the notes can be read separately, and together the
notes provide an integrated framework for the development of
practical approaches to the regulation of WSS. The seven
notes address the following topics: 1. defining economic
regulation for water supply services; 2. designing economic
regulation for water supply services: a framework; 3.
choosing organizations and instruments for economic
regulation of water supply services; 4. regulation and
private participation contracts; 5. cost of service and
tariffs for water utilities; 6. regulating government-owned
water utilities; and 7. regulating wastewater services in
developing countries. |
