Synopsis
This book analyses how a water utility from a developing country, Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority, that was totally dysfunctional, corruption-ridden and literally bankrupt in 1993, became one of the most successful water utilities of the developing world in only about 15 years. By 2010, some of the performance indicators of this public sector utility were even better than London, Paris or Los Angeles. The book further analyses the enabling conditions that made this remarkable transformation possible. Based on this analysis, a framework is recommended for water utilities from developing countries so that they can also be transformed into functional, efficient, equitable and financially viable institutions on a sustainable basis., SECTION I Chapter 1 About this book 1.1 Book outline 1.2 Readership of the book 1.3 Background to writing of this book 1.4 Book structure Chapter 2 Understanding Cambodia 2.1 Cambodia 2.1.1 Political background 2.1.2 Administrative arrangements in Cambodia 2.1.3 Cambodian economy 2.2 Phnom Penh 2.2.1 Population 2.2.2 Area of Phnom Penh 2.2.3 Physical conditions 2.2.4 Economy Chapter 3 . 3.1 Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority 3.1.1 1959-1970: Period of expansion of water services (PPWSA 2020) 3.1.2 1970-1979: Period of conflict and instability 3.1.3 1979-1993: Period of turbulence 3.1.4 1993-2012: Transformation phase 3.1.5 Donor's role in revival of PPWSA during 2003-2012 3.1.6 Listing of PPWSA stock in 2012: A vote of confidence 3.1.7 Transformation of PPWSA under Ek Sonn Chan 3.2 Changing of the guard: 2012-2017 Chapter 4 Four domain (4-D) framework for analysis of urban water utility Chapter 5 PPWSA: Analysis 5.1 Physical domain of PPWSA 5.1.1 Rivers and seasonal direction of flow 5.1.2 Water treatment plants, their location and source of surface water 5.1.3 Phnom Penh's raw water requirement and prime source of raw water in 2016 5.1.4 Future raw water demand and location of new water treatment plants 5.1.5 Outlook on raw water for Phnom Penh 5.2 Operational domain of PPWSA 5.2.1 Capacity and production of treated water 5.2.2 Distribution of pipeline length 5.2.3 Performance of the water supply network 5.2.4 Non-revenue water and unaccounted for water 5.2.5 Water Supply and Sanitation Branch 5.2.6 Customer mix 5.2.7 Quality of water 5.2.8 Customer care 5.2.9 Internal organisation structure and management team 5.2.10 Outlook on operational performance 5.3 Financial domain 5.3.1 Revenue mix 5.3.2 Production cost 5.3.3.
