108 of 1997), municipalities have the executive authority over the provision of water services (defined as water
supply and sanitation services) within their areas of jurisdiction. The Water Services Act sets out the institutional
framework which outlines the roles and responsibilities of local government as a Water Services Authority. One of
these responsibilities is to ensure effective and efficient Water Services Provider (WSP) institutional arrangements.
