Abstract

The decentralization of Water Service Authority (WSA) from District Municipalities to Local Municipalities in South Africa aims to enhance service delivery, improve efficiency, and foster local accountability. This study investigates the potential benefits and challenges associated with this decentralization process. Through a comprehensive review of policy documents, case studies, and stakeholder interviews, this research explores the impact on water service quality, financial management, and community engagement. The findings suggest that decentralization can lead to more responsive and context-specific water management practices, although it also poses significant challenges in terms of capacity building and resource allocation.
