Service Quality
The service quality in Honduras is low compared to other countries in Latin America. In 2006, only 75% of the drinking water in urban areas was disinfected and 10% of the wastewater that was collected received treatment. In rural areas, it was estimated that only one-third of the systems provided continual service and less than 14% of the systems delivered disinfected water in 2004 . According to the WHO, in 2000 98% of Honduran water systems provided water on an intermittent basis for an average duration of 6 hours per day. In only 51% of urban water systems drinking water was being disinfected, and only 3% of the collected wastewater was being treated. Service quality thus is poor compared to other Latin American countries.

Famous quotes containing the words service and/or quality:
“The man of large and conspicuous public service in civil life must be content without the Presidency. Still more, the availability of a popular man in a doubtful State will secure him the prize in a close contest against the first statesman of the country whose State is safe.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Liberation is an evershifting horizon, a total ideology that can never fulfill its promises.... It has the therapeutic quality of providing emotionally charged rituals of solidarity in hatred—it is the amphetamine of its believers.”
—Arianna Stassinopoulos (b. 1950)
