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:
“Whatever events in progress shall disgust men with cities, and infuse into them the passion for country life, and country pleasures, will render a service to the whole face of this continent, and will further the most poetic of all the occupations of real life, the bringing out by art the native but hidden graces of the landscape.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“All men are lonely. But sometimes it seems to me that we Americans are the loneliest of all. Our hunger for foreign places and new ways has been with us almost like a national disease. Our literature is stamped with a quality of longing and unrest, and our writers have been great wanderers.”
—Carson McCullers (1917–1967)
