Abstract
A number of bodies have advocated reform of urban water service delivery in recent times, including removal from local authority ownership and control. Water services are estimated to have a replacement cost of about $33 billion, with annual operating expenditures of $1.7 billion and annual capital expenditure of about $1.1 billion (SPM Consultants, 2009, pp.63-71). This article describes some of the reform proposals that have been made; considers what, if any, problems there may be with current arrangements for water services delivery; develops some criteria against which to assess reform options; and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of different reform options against those criteria.
