| Summary: | To evaluate and reflect the
sustainability of services in the region, an overall sector
sustainability assessment was done, taking into account four
main dimensions: access to services, quality of services,
efficiency of services, and financing of services. Each of
these dimensions is measured through three simple and
objective indicators. For each indicator, best practice
values are established by looking at the best performers in
the region, and countries closest to those best performers
are deemed to have a more mature sector. A more complete
description of the methodology to assess the sector
sustainability is included in the annex of the state of the
sector regional report from the Danube Water Program. The
outcomes of this assessment for the Slovenia water sector
are displayed, which also shows average and best practices
in the Danube region. The Slovenian sector sustainability
score is 84, which is above the Danube average
sustainability score of 64. The assessment shows that, on
average, the country performs well in terms of access to
piped water and flush toilets, affordability, continuity of
service, customer satisfaction, nonrevenue water, and
collection ratio. The main deficiencies of Slovenia’s water
sector identified through the sector sustainability
assessment are wastewater treatment coverage, operating cost
ratio, and investment level. The main sector challenges are:
increasing the rehabilitation of the water infrastructure
and improving its reliability; and improving monitoring and
reporting practices. |
