The creation of a single, independent economic regulator for water supply services is a priority strategy to address institutional fragmentation and the low level of investments in the sector. Legislative action is required to resolve the conflicting mandates of various agencies involved in the regulation of water services. Pending positive action from Congress, however, NWRB must be strengthened to allow partial resolution to the current situation. This interim action must also be supported by the formulation of a National Water Resources Policy (NWRP) to provide a policy framework for both economic and resource regulation in the water supply subsector.
