- Water services can be divided into two key areas: Governance Functions which include: ensuring access regulating planning And deciding WSP institutional arrangments Provision Functions which is the actual provision of the water supply and sanitation services to consumers, for example operating and maintaining the water services infrastructure, customer relations, revenue collection, etc.
- Ensuring access is about progressively ensuring that all consumers or potential consumers in its area of jurisdiction have access to efficient, affordable, economical and sustainable water services. Part of this responsibility is ensuring that the necessary water services infrastructure is in place. This requires accessing grants and implementing capital projects. The WSA must ensure equitable allocation of resources and must regulate access to water services in an equitable way. This relates to allocation of subsidies and ensuring that basic services are in place. The WSA must ensure that water resources are conserved and must ensure that consumers are paying the charges for water services. The WSA has the right to limit or discontinue the provision of water services if there is a failure to comply with reasonable conditions set for the provision of such services and may also impose reasonable limitations on the use of water services.

Part of this responsibility is ensuring that the necessary water services infrastructure is in place. This requires accessing grants and implementing capital projects. The WSA must ensure equitable allocation of resources and must regulate access to water services in an equitable way. This relates to allocation of the equitable share and ensuring that basic services are in place. The WSA must ensure that water resources are conserved and must ensure that consumers are paying the charges for water services. The WSA has the right to limit or discontinue the provision of water services if there is a failure to comply with reasonable conditions set for the provision of such services and may also impose reasonable limitations on the use of water services.

- An i nternal arrangement (direct delivery) includes any arrangement where the municipality fulfils the WSP function itself. This could be: an administrative structure within its administration an internal business unit corporatising the service through establishing a municipal business enterprise If the municipality chooses to contract another entity to fulfill the WSP function, this is an external provision arrangement.
- Where a local government / municipality does not have the capacity to provide the necessary services it is important to seek alternative mechanisms for providing the services. There are different types of contracts that a WSA can enter into with a WSP. These include: service contract management contract lease BOT Concession or a combination of contract types The type of contract will depend upon the type of resources and services that the WSA aims to access through the partnership and will depend upon allocation of risk between the WSA and WSP. This is dealt with in more detail in Module 8 on institutional arrangements for service provision.
