Water and Wastewater Utilities: Indicators, 2nd Edition


Abstract


Indicators can be a valuable tool to sector staff and practitioners working in the evaluation of operations and

investments of water and sanitation utilities'. To make this job more manageable indicators on Water and

Waste-Water- services, mainly in urban areas, have been grouped into three sets:



1. Operational Indicators (first edition, April 1993)

2. Financial Indicators (first edition, June 1994), and

3. Overview of Tariff Rates and Structures (first edition, June 1994).



In response to the heavy demand, this second edition has been updated and expanded

 with additional information collected since the three sets were first published.



Indicators have been collected from a selected group of utilities from industrialized and developing countries.

Indicators from the former group are believed to represent “acceptable" or "desirable" outcomes or best

practice.
