The Efficient Management of Water Provision as the basis for Economic Development and Growth
- Resumen
- The sustainable provision of water resources forms the basis for economic growth and the development and management of our towns and cities. Sound water utility management is therefore a development imperative. Therefore public water and other utilities have to discharge their duties in an economically efficient and in an operationally responsible manner. <br/> The paper demonstrates, using various financial and operational indicators, that Rand Water ¿ arguably the largest public water utility in Africa ¿ has been able to consistently discharge its duties in an economically efficient and operationally responsible manner. The result is that after 104 years of operation, Rand Water places no fiscal burden on the State, has cost reflective pricing, and is able to generate sufficient surpluses to invest in its current and future infrastructure needs. As a result of its efficient management and operations, Rand Water provides the basis for economic growth and development of the Gauteng Province of South Africa, which is the economic heartland of South Africa, and the largest economy in Africa.
