Efficiency of Operations. It is critical for operations to be streamlined and be more efficient. Streamlining can be done through benchmarking with other utilities including water utilities and entities in other countries. On top of this the business model needs to be changed in order to create a surplus.

Focus should be given to asset management and ensure that existing assets’ live-span is increased to lower capital expenditure on refurbishment. In executing all the latter the principle of cost containment should at all times be on the radar screen.
