| Abstract | These guidelines have been written to help small town Water and Sanitation Development Boards (WSDBs) set the water tariff in their community. The water tariff is the price paid by consumers for water. Money which is collected from selling water is the main source of income for the WSDB. This money is used to pay for all the costs (expenses) of operating and maintaining the water system. In addition to paying all the expenses, some money needs to be set aside by the WSDB as savings in a “capital fund” which can be used to pay for new items required for expansion of the water system such as additional storage tanks, distribution pipes and new connections. |
