User pays/polluter pays

Fee for a service and a service for a fee;

Independent operators needed;

The fee for water supply and treatment paid to

the operator, reflect quality/intensity of services;

The fee should reach full cost recovery levels,

1) operation,

2) maintenance and;

depreciation;

Some systems need subsidies, subsidies should

be transparent and be paid to the operator.
